Not everyone is convinced that Big AI's proposed development slowdown is really about safety
Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez and others blast OpenAI, Anthropic and Google's proposed frontier AI slowdown as anticompetitive 'cartel by another name.'
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for industry and government coordination to slow frontier AI development, requesting antitrust exemptions, with backing from Sam Altman and Elon Musk. Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez called the proposal a cartel designed to lock in barriers like massive compute and permanent monitoring, while Hugging Face's Niels Rogge and White House AI czar David Sacks also pushed back. Trump labeled AI takeover warnings a hoax, and China rejected the slowdown plans as a US ploy.
