AI Summary

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei released an open letter urging the AI industry to “pace the frontier” and slow development. OpenAI founder Sam Altman and Elon Musk publicly backed Amodei’s call on X, and Alphabet’s Demis Hassabis offered tentative support. Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson disagreed, arguing the pause is overreactive and could let China overtake the U.S. in AI. Trump said the U.S. is already leading China in AI and wants to maintain that advantage, noting that whoever wins AI wins.
