Tech CEOs urge AI slowdown as Trump calls it a hoax

In the United States, four American tech CEOs, including Dario Amodei of Anthropic, have called for a slowdown in AI development, citing concerns about cybersecurity, espionage, and AI agents. The Wall Street Journal's editorial board suggests the slowdown may be motivated by a lack of new models from companies like Anthropic and OpenAI. President Trump has dismissed these fears as a hoax, comparing them to climate change warnings. The debate highlights tensions between industry leaders and the president over AI policy, with implications for national security and economic competitiveness.
