Divisions emerge in the tech industry over calls for a coordinated AI slowdown

Amid growing warnings about risks of uncontrolled AI, industry divisions have intensified: Amodei (Anthropic), Altman (OpenAI), Musk, and Hassabis supported coordinated slowdown and external audits, while Zuckerberg (Meta) and Huang (Nvidia) opposed, insisting on company self-responsibility and no new regulations.

• Amodei proposed giving independent auditors employee-level lab access
• OpenAI supported mandatory national safety standards and shared model tests
• Zuckerberg: each company is responsible for its own model safety
• Huang: market already regulates pace, no new laws or regulations needed
