SoftBank, a backer of OpenAI, fell as much as 13% after technology leaders called for a slowdown in AI development over concerns about its risks.
Anthropic PBC and OpenAI will have to weigh calls to slow artificial-intelligence development against likely resistance to any substantial pause from the tech industry, financial markets and the Trump administration.
US President Donald Trump played down AI risks, saying he wants to preserve the US lead over China and does not see a need for broad checks on development. He acknowledged that some regulation may be needed but offered no details. His remarks followed calls by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, backed by OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Elon Musk, to slow capability advances so safeguards can catch up.
AI companies warn that their technology could wipe out humanity, but the apocalyptic predictions may also benefit the companies making them.
Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are publicly urging companies to slow the development of new AI systems, adding to a week of warnings from researchers about the technology.
Bloomberg News Now highlights calls from AI executives to curb the industry’s growth, alongside Donald Trump’s comments on strikes against Russian diesel supplies.
President Donald Trump played down growing alarm about artificial-intelligence risks after some industry leaders urged a slower pace of technological development.
Donald Trump has dismissed warnings about artificial intelligence, saying “negative forces” are raising fears about events that will not happen. The comments follow dire predictions from a former Anthropic researcher and calls by industry leaders to slow development. Trump said the US is ahead of China in AI and wants to keep that lead, while critics argue any slowdown should be coordinated internationally.
Andy Miah, Chair in Science Communication and Future Media at the University of Salford, said AI presents real challenges that require closer coordination between companies and governments, but poses no existential threat to humanity. He added that clearer data and concrete figures would help the public understand the risks.
AI leaders warn that the technology is advancing faster than the ability to control it, while Donald Trump has called some concerns exaggerated. AI philosophy professor Raphaël Millière says a real-world security incident this summer shows the risks are no longer hypothetical, but not that AI will kill everyone. He says companies and governments should coordinate to manage the growing safety risks.
AI is helping with writing, education, information gathering and programming, with supporters pointing to productivity gains and new types of work. But experts warn that rapid development could bring job losses, misinformation, heavy infrastructure demands and particular difficulties for early-career workers. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has urged companies to slow the pace of improving AI model capabilities.

US Representative Anna Paulina Luna says the war in Ukraine must end and that there is now a chance to resolve the conflict. She says she will do everything in her power to facilitate peace. Russia has repeatedly voiced support for a diplomatic settlement while saying Kyiv is not ready for negotiations.
After Russian drones struck a gas station near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk crossing and a Kyiv-Warsaw passenger train near Poland’s border, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that Russian escalation could intensify in the coming weeks and months and might reach Polish territory. He called for maximum preparedness with allies.
A Russian drone hit a train at Yahodyn near the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after Boris Johnson and senior European security officials had left the area. Ukrainian authorities said there were no casualties and all passengers were evacuated. The strike, which hit the engine, could signal an escalation in Russia’s war against Ukraine, the BBC reports.
Russian forces used drones to strike a gas station and a passenger train near the Yahodyn crossing, several kilometers from Poland. The station caught fire, nearby trucks burned, and two drivers were injured. A train locomotive was also hit. Ukraine’s foreign minister called the attacks “Putin’s terror” knocking on the doors of the EU and NATO. Russia said it targeted railway infrastructure used to transport military cargo from Europe.
Poland and Ukraine accused Russia of escalation after a Kyiv-Warsaw passenger train was hit just two kilometres from the Polish border, with no casualties reported. Boris Johnson and David Petraeus were nearby at the time. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Moscow deliberately targeted the locomotive.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defenses intercepted and destroyed 140 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones over Crimea, several Russian regions and the Black Sea during the day. The areas listed were Belgorod, Bryansk, Kaluga, Kursk, Oryol and Rostov regions.
Ukraine and Poland on Sunday condemned Russian strikes near the Polish border as an “escalation” in the war. Drones hit a Warsaw-bound train and an area near a frontier checkpoint. Ukraine’s rail operator said former British prime minister Boris Johnson and former CIA director David Petraeus were at a nearby border station around the time of the strike.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that Russia could intensify its operations and potentially disrupt or destroy Ukrainian border crossings after drones struck a gas station near the Yahodyn crossing and a Kyiv–Warsaw passenger train.

A Russian drone struck the locomotive of a Kyiv–Warsaw train about 2 kilometers from the Polish border, with no passenger injuries reported.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Moscow is now striking targets indiscriminately across Ukraine in response to Kyiv’s intensified attacks on Russian economic and strategic infrastructure. Russia has recently increased drone assaults, hitting energy facilities, gas stations and areas near the Polish border, while Ukraine has expanded strikes on Russian refineries and fuel depots.
