Calls for AI slowdown send shockwaves through Washington

At the Dreamforce convention in San Francisco, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a slowdown in AI development, using an automotive safety analogy to advocate for industry-wide reviews following safety incidents. Conversely, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argued against such deceleration, urging continued acceleration. These conflicting perspectives have sent shockwaves through Washington. Meanwhile, US Treasury yields have topped 5% for the first time since 2023, marking a significant shift in the current financial landscape.
