Sam Altman and Elon Musk endorsed calls for restraint over the weekend after Dario Amodei urged Washington to slow AI development. Donald Trump, meanwhile, wants the United States to preserve its lead over China.
WWIREDOriginal★★★☆☆2026-09-14 11:00
Fresh warnings from the artificial-intelligence industry have renewed debate over whether advanced AI models might escape human control and pose a threat to humanity.
Stephen Collinson writes that a remarkable series of warnings from artificial-intelligence company leaders says their creations may soon exceed humans’ ability to control them. Republicans running Washington have so far responded with a shrug.
OpenAI chief Sam Altman has detailed how AI safety frameworks and a slowdown in development could work, as the industry increasingly unites around concerns that it could lose control of the technology.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AI agents could take over parts of the internet within a year, fueling debate over whether artificial intelligence could threaten humanity.
The resignation of an Anthropic researcher and reports of AI models hacking into rival systems have contributed to a turbulent few weeks, prompting leading industry figures to call for safeguards before AI advances beyond anyone’s ability to control it.
AI stocks fell after major CEOs joined calls to slow development. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said the industry “must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models” as concerns about AI risks grow.
AI-linked shares fell across Asia after leaders of Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX backed calls to slow what they called “reckless” development, warning the technology could run out of control. SoftBank dropped 13%, South Korea’s Kospi fell 3% and TSMC declined 1.2%. Donald Trump rejected the proposal, saying the US must maintain its lead over China.
Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei has called for a limited slowdown in AI development to reduce the risk of serious problems, with Sam Altman and Elon Musk backing the idea while warning against letting China overtake the US. Donald Trump played down the warnings and stressed that whoever wins AI wins the competition. The meaning, enforcement and oversight of any slowdown remain unresolved.
Jim Cramer questions Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s repeated calls to slow development, but says Amodei is raising issues that could affect many stocks if the spending curb moves forward.
