Dario Amodei Calls for AI Slowdown at Dreamforce as Jensen Huang Urges Full Speed
nordicinst · x · 2026-09-16
At Salesforce's Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reiterated his call to slow AI development, with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang countering shortly after: "Run as fast as you can."
- Amodei's auto analogy: when a competitor has a safety incident like brake failure, all car companies should stop and review their own practices rather than attack the competitor
- His three proposals: embedding third-party evaluators inside AI companies, coordinating safety standards among democratic countries, and eventually broader global coordination; Anthropic has committed to independent evaluators
- Musk (xAI) and Altman (OpenAI) have also recently called for slowing AI development
- The comments follow former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's public resignation warning AI could lead to human extinction within a decade
