Anthropic’s CEO calls for AI slowdown as Nvidia’s urges acceleration

At San Francisco conference Dario Amodei reiterates need for AI slowdown as Jensen Huang says argued against it Anthropic’s CEO took to the stage at a conference in San Francisco on Tuesday to reiterate his call for a slowdown of AI development. Following shortly after, Nvidia’s CEO argued against such deceleration.

Dario Amodei used an automotive analogy to make his point: when a competing car company has a safety incident like brake failures, it is a moment for all car companies to stop and review their own practices, he said at Salesforce’s Dreamforce convention on Tuesday. “It’s very tempting to attack your competitor and say these guys are unsafe,” he said. “But I think the more responsible way to respond to it is to say, let’s look at our own record.

We may not have had this big, high-profile incident, but I’m sure we’re not perfect.”
