At Salesforce's Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, CEO Marc Benioff touted projected 2027 revenue of over $46 billion driven by AI products, even as attendees grappled with a growing rift among tech leaders over AI safety. The disagreement followed Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's resignation and public warning that companies pursuing self-improving AI were taking reckless risks, prompting Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and even OpenAI's Sam Altman to call for slowing AI's pace. White House adviser David Sacks and President Trump dismissed these existential risk concerns, with Trump labeling them a hoax.
