China rejects Anthropic CEO's call to slow AI development

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has publicly urged caution and slower progress in advanced AI development, citing safety concerns. According to reporting from Rest of World, Chinese officials and AI engineers see this stance differently, viewing it as an attempt by the U.S. to preserve its technological advantage rather than a genuine safety measure.

Sources in China reportedly pushed back on the idea that American AI leaders should set the pace or rules for global AI development. The disagreement highlights ongoing tension between U.S. and Chinese approaches to AI governance, with each side skeptical of the other's motives in the global AI race.
