China State Newspaper Calls Anthropic CEO’s AI Slowdown Plan a ‘Cold War Playbook’
The tabloid said the proposal would use safety concerns to slow Chinese AI labs and preserve U.S. technological dominance.
- On Sept 12, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei outlined a framework to pace frontier AI development, citing mounting safety risks; OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX founder Elon Musk endorsed the proposal.
- Amodei urged the US to strengthen chip export controls on China and crack down on alleged model distillation by Chinese AI labs, citing safety concerns.

- On Sept 13, Presidents Donald Trump dismissed calls to slow AI advancement, calling them 'very negative forces' and stating 'whoever wins AI wins' to justify maintaining US dominance.
