Musk, Altman back calls to slow AI development amid rapid progress

Elon Musk and Sam Altman have publicly supported calls to slow AI development, citing concerns from Anthropic's CEO that AI has been advancing drastically faster since this summer. This marks a notable alignment between two prominent AI leaders who have often been at odds, signaling potential industry-wide pressure for regulatory or voluntary pauses. The impact on AI investment and policy is uncertain but could influence market sentiment toward AI-related equities.
