China state newspaper blasts Anthropic's calls to slow AI as 'Cold War' tactic
Beijing says the safety push masks U.S. efforts to curb Chinese AI progress as Trump and Xi prepare to discuss governance.
- On Saturday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay proposing an arms-control-style framework to slow frontier AI development, urging international cooperation with China and introducing third-party reviewers to manage escalating safety risks.
- Amodei warned that AI 'agents' could take control of the internet within 6 to 12 months unless researchers agreed to slow down, arguing that global pacing is necessary to prevent runaway risks while maintaining a U.S. edge over authoritarian regimes.
- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX founder Elon Musk endorsed the proposal, while President Donald Trump rebuffed calls to slow down on Sunday, saying "whoever wins AI, wins."
- Chinese state media dismissed the plan as a "Cold War playbook" targeting China's technological development, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged all parties to "promote an open, inclusive and benevolent approach" to global AI governance.
- Frontier AI safety risks are expected to surface during the September 24 summit between Trump and Xi Jinping, though experts remain skeptical that the two nations will reach regulatory cooperation on development pacing.
