Some of the biggest names in artificial intelligence just agreed on something unusual: they will put more controls around their own AI systems. On September 29, U.S. President Donald Trump met with leaders from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, xAI, and NVIDIA at the White House, where they signed a voluntary agreement focused on the safety of advanced AI models.
What happens when an AI company stops asking, “What does the model think?” and starts asking, “Can we test it in a real laboratory?” That is exactly where Anthropic appears to be heading. The company behind Claude has quietly established a wet biology lab in the San Francisco Bay Area, where it can carry out physical experiments rather than relying entirely on computer simulations.
What if Artificial Intelligence got a new name? President Donald Trump has an idea. Actually, he has three. On Saturday, September 19, Trump asked his followers on Truth Social to vote on whether “Artificial Intelligence” should be renamed Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, or Supreme Intelligence. But that was only the beginning. A few hours later, Trump announced something much bigger:
What happens when AI becomes powerful enough to make decisions, take actions, and potentially operate beyond the boundaries its creators expected? Microsoft wants one thing to be clear: humans should still be in charge. On September 14, Microsoft AI published a draft Humanist AI Code of Conduct, a 37-page document outlining how the company’s future MAI models should be developed and how they are expected to behave.
What happens when one of the world's most powerful AI executives is discussing whether artificial intelligence should slow down and the US president suddenly calls him? You put him on speaker. That is exactly what happened on Monday at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was discussing the growing debate over AI safety when his phone started ringing. The caller? Donald Trump. Huang answered.
The AI world is asking one big question right now: Are we moving too fast? But US President Donald Trump appears to have a different priority: making sure China does not win the AI race. Speaking during a visit to Ireland on Sunday, Trump dismissed growing warnings about the dangers of rapidly developing artificial intelligence, arguing that some of the predictions are exaggerated.
The debate over how fast AI should develop has just become a lot more complicated. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently called on the AI industry to slow the development of increasingly powerful AI systems, arguing that the technology is advancing faster than society’s ability to manage its risks. But China is not buying it. China’s state-backed Global Times has described Amodei’s proposal as a “Cold War playbook”
AI companies have spent years racing to build smarter and more powerful models. Now, one of the biggest names in the industry is saying something unexpected: Maybe they need to slow down. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has published a new essay calling for the AI industry to “pace the frontier” not stop developing AI but deliberately slow the speed at which its capabilities improve so that safety measures have time to catch up.
or the past few days, one question has dominated conversations in the AI industry: Is Anthropic trying to stop OpenAI models? The speculation spread quickly after nearly every major AI company, including Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Hugging Face, Mistral, and others, signed a public letter urging governments not to impose sweeping restrictions on open-weight AI models. One notable name was missing from that list.
Imagine launching one of the most advanced AI systems ever built. The tech world is buzzing. Developers are eager to test it. Businesses are lining up to use it. Then, just days later, the government steps in and effectively pulls the plug. That's exactly what just happened to Anthropic.
