AI Safety Leaders Call for Development Slowdown Amid Rogue Agent Fears

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged slowing frontier AI development to catch up on safety. The call sparked market volatility (Nvidia ~3% down, chips ~6% down) and pushback from Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg.

This represents a rare public rift among AI leaders on pacing versus acceleration, with direct market consequences and broader implications for existential risk debates, antitrust coordination concerns, and political responses. The debate ties into potential congressional hearings and cybersecurity market hedges. High-engagement X posts and major news coverage (Reuters, NYT, FT) amplified the discussion during a period of significant industry tension.
