Amodei's call to slow frontier AI collides with the US-China lead

Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei has asked the industry to slow how fast frontier artificial-intelligence models gain capability, and that plea has hardened into a dispute over whether a slowdown is a safety measure or a way to hold a United States lead over China. President Donald Trump has rejected the idea, while Beijing has warned that threat narratives and vicious competition would damage global governance of the technology, days before the two leaders are due to meet.
