During a live session at the All-In Summit, President Trump phoned Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who put the call on speaker for the audience. The two discussed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's suggestion that AI development should slow down, with Trump dismissing the idea as a 'hoax' possibly pushed by political rivals or China, and Huang agreeing that such a slowdown would not be allowed to happen.
President Trump said he has no concerns about AI causing human extinction, prioritizing U.S. competitiveness against China instead. His remarks followed public warnings from over a dozen researchers at OpenAI and Anthropic urging a slower pace of AI development due to safety risks.
A commentary contrasts how employees at OpenAI and Anthropic reconcile building powerful AI with warnings about its dangers. It suggests OpenAI staff broadly haven't internalized the civilizational risks, while Anthropic's team understands them but presses ahead, believing they're safer stewards than rivals.
WIRED's Uncanny Valley podcast reports that despite the US-China AI rivalry over chips and model performance, researchers from both countries are beginning informal cooperation on AI safety. Senior writer Will Knight, who recently traveled to China, discusses growing concern over increasingly capable AI agents that can autonomously act, including hacking systems, and why that risk may push rival nations toward collaboration.
