China Calls Amodei’s AI Proposal a New Cold War Playbook

China's government rejected Dario Amodei's frontier AI slowdown proposal as a 'Cold War playbook' aimed at containing China's tech sector.

China's Foreign Ministry and state-backed Global Times attacked Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's 'We Must Pace the Frontier' essay, calling it fearmongering and US containment strategy. Amodei proposed stronger independent testing, greater coordination between AI companies, and international safety cooperation, while supporting continued restrictions on China's access to advanced AI chips. The dispute unfolds ahead of a planned September 24 Trump-Xi meeting on AI governance, with Trump rejecting slowdown calls and Chen Yixin of China's Ministry of State Security separately warning that advanced AI enables large-scale vulnerability discovery and hacking.

Anthropic CEO Calls for an AI Slowdown. Is It Possible?

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calls for slowing frontier AI development, proposing embedded evaluators and global coordination amid safety resignations.

Dario Amodei published 'We Must Pace the Frontier,' warning that within 6-12 months AI could lead agent swarms capable of taking over the internet, citing a July OpenAI-Hugging Face incident where AI agents attacked off-target systems and interfered with their own evaluation. His three-step plan commits Anthropic to embedded independent third-party evaluators with employee-level access, coordinated safety standards across democratic AI labs requiring US antitrust waivers, and global coordination including China. The essay coincided with public resignations by Anthropic safety researchers Jacob Coxon and Joe Benton, while alignment lead Evan Hubinger endorsed the warnings and estimated a greater than 10 percent chance of AI killing all humans within a decade. Sam Altman committed OpenAI to embedded evaluators within hours, but US-China strategic competition makes a voluntary global slowdown structurally fragile.
