Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has pushed back against growing calls to slow the development of advanced artificial intelligence, saying companies can pursue faster AI progress while still building safe products.&nbsp;Speaking at Salesforce’s Dreamforce conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, Huang said “we don’t need any new laws” and argued that AI safety should primarily be handled by companies through engineering and testing. His comments put him on a different side of an increasingly heated debate involving Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who have backed measures to deliberately pace frontier AI development.&nbsp;‘Safety is an engineering problem’ Huang said safety was “paramount” but argued that companies should test their AI systems extensively before releasing them. “If we're not confident about the safety of the product, then don't release it,” he said. For Huang, the answer is therefore not necessarily to impose new restrictions on how quickly AI models can improve.Instead, companies should decide when a product is ready and only release it when they are confident it is safe enough for the market. He also rejected the idea that companies must choose between speed and safety.&nbsp;“Speed, and safe products… it’s a false choice,” Huang said. “You can definitely have both at the same time.”<h2>Huang breaks with Amodei and Altman</h2>The comments come days after Amodei called for the AI industry to “slow the pace” at which frontier models improve. The Anthropic CEO has proposed independent safety evaluators inside AI companies, common safety standards among leading democracies and wider international cooperation. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman backed Amodei’s call, saying AI companies need to “pace the frontier”, while stressing that pacing does not mean stopping AI development. Elon Musk also supported Amodei’s position. Huang’s position is notably different. Nvidia supplies the advanced chips that power much of the global AI infrastructure, making the pace of AI development especially important to the company’s business.&nbsp;<h2>Why the AI debate is getting sharper</h2>The disagreement follows a series of warnings from AI researchers about rapidly improving model capabilities. Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon recently warned that people building AI believe the technology could potentially cause catastrophic harm. Anthropic researcher Evan Hubinger has also publicly discussed significant risks from future AI systems.&nbsp;Amodei has argued that safety measures need time to catch up with rapidly advancing capabilities. Huang, meanwhile, believes companies can keep moving quickly while making safety part of the engineering process. That leaves the AI industry facing a fundamental question: should advanced AI be slowed to give safety research more time, or should companies improve safety while continuing to race ahead? For now, the biggest names in AI are giving very different answers.

China hits back at Anthropic CEO’s AI slowdown call, calls it a ‘Cold War playbook’

Could artificial intelligence eventually kill humans? Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says the possibility cannot be dismissed but he believes the outcome is still shaped by human choices.&nbsp;Speaking to CNN's Anderson Cooper, Amodei said he agrees with former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon's concerns about the AI race more than he disagrees with them. His warning comes as major AI companies develop increasingly powerful systems and debate how much, if at all, that progress should be slowed. Amodei's central message was not that AI will inevitably destroy humanity. Instead, he said the industry should focus on which path it takes next.&nbsp;“If we take the right path, then the chance of something going wrong is very low.”&nbsp;He added that taking the wrong path could make the risk considerably higher.<h2>Why Amodei wants AI development slowed</h2>Amodei has argued that AI capabilities are advancing faster than safety measures can keep up.&nbsp;In a new proposal, he called for frontier AI companies to give independent evaluators permanent, employee-level access so they can examine safety practices and report problems. He also called for common safety standards among democratic countries and greater international coordination.&nbsp;Anthropic has already committed to the independent-evaluator measure.The aim is not to stop AI development completely. Amodei wants companies to pace the frontier so researchers and governments have more time to understand increasingly capable systems and build safeguards around them.<h2>Jacob Coxon's warning sparked the debate</h2>The discussion intensified after Coxon resigned from Anthropic and publicly accused AI companies of “gambling with our lives”. Coxon, who previously worked at OpenAI, warned that researchers building advanced AI believe it could potentially kill humanity by the end of the decade. His comments went viral and were echoed by Anthropic alignment researcher Evan Hubinger, who said he personally puts the risk above 10% over the next decade. Amodei said Coxon was not specifically accusing Anthropic of being uniquely irresponsible. Instead, he was warning about the competitive race across the entire industry.

The call for caution has unusually brought together rival AI leaders.OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, “We need to pace the frontier,” and backed independent evaluators with employee-like access. OpenAI said it would adopt the measure. Tesla and xAI CEO Elon Musk also publicly supported Amodei's position, writing: “Dario is right.” The debate now centres on a difficult question: how can the world keep the benefits of increasingly powerful AI while ensuring the technology does not advance faster than humanity's ability to control it?&nbsp;For Amodei, the answer is not simply predicting a percentage. It is making sure the industry chooses the safer path before the choices become harder to reverse.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AI could pose serious risks if development moves too quickly, but he rejects treating catastrophe as a fixed probability. He wants AI companies and governments to slow the frontier, strengthen safety checks and coordinate internationally.

Can AI kill humans? Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says the answer depends on one crucial choice

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called on the artificial intelligence industry to slow the pace of AI development, warning that rapid advances could eventually outpace humanity’s ability to understand and control increasingly powerful systems.&nbsp;Amodei on Saturday outlined a three-part plan to slow the development of frontier AI while strengthening safety measures.

<h2>Amodei lays out three-step AI safety plan</h2>Amodei said AI development has accelerated sharply since around the summer, partly because AI systems are becoming increasingly capable of helping build the next generation of models.&nbsp;He pointed to “recursive self-improvement”, a process in which AI systems contribute to the development of more advanced AI. Amodei warned that if the trend continues unchecked, it could move faster than humans can understand and control.&nbsp;“We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models,” he wrote.&nbsp;He said the development must be pursued carefully, particularly as similar advances are taking place across the industry, including at Anthropic.&nbsp;Under his proposal, every frontier AI company would commit to giving a team of embedded third-party evaluators ongoing access to its systems. These evaluators would monitor compliance with safety measures, report incidents and assess whether models remain aligned during training.&nbsp;Amodei's second proposal involves cooperation among AI companies to establish common safety standards and limits on the pace of unchecked AI progress. His third calls for greater international coordination on advanced AI development.&nbsp;He also urged the US and other democratic governments to work with authoritarian governments on AI safety, while acknowledging the challenges involved in verifying compliance with any such agreements.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/what-s-in-the-menu-for-brics-summit-gala-dinner-hosted-by-pm-modi-details-here-1789226737113">What’s in the menu for BRICS Summit gala dinner hosted by PM Modi?

As artificial intelligence companies race to build larger models and more powerful data centres, another challenge is moving into focus: climate impact. Anthropic, one of the world's leading AI startups, has joined Frontier, a carbon removal initiative that funds technologies designed to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The move makes Anthropic the first pure AI company to join the group and comes alongside a new $915 million funding commitment that pushes Frontier's total pledged funding to $1.8 billion.The announcement is attracting attention because AI companies are facing increasing scrutiny over their energy consumption, data centre expansion and environmental footprint.<h2>Why Anthropic's decision matters</h2>Anthropic's membership is significant for one reason in particular. The company behind the Claude AI assistant has largely stayed away from major climate-related commitments until now. Unlike some large technology firms, Anthropic has not yet released a public sustainability report. The company has previously supported an "all of the above" energy strategy, a position often associated with using a broad mix of energy sources rather than relying exclusively on renewable power. Its decision to join Frontier therefore represents its first major climate-focused initiative. For observers of the AI industry, it may signal a shift in how AI companies approach environmental concerns as demand for computing power continues to grow.&nbsp;<h2>What Frontier actually does</h2>Frontier was launched by technology companies including Google, Stripe and Shopify to help scale the carbon removal industry.Its role is relatively simple. The organisation identifies and evaluates companies developing carbon removal technologies and then signs long-term contracts to purchase carbon removal credits from projects it believes can succeed. Those credits allow participating companies to offset some of their emissions while supporting the development of technologies that could help reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide. Since launching in 2022, Frontier has committed nearly $700 million across more than 50 projects and contracted the removal of around 1.8 million tonnes of carbon. The organisation has supported a range of technologies, including direct air capture, enhanced rock weathering, bio-oil and ocean-based carbon removal methods.&nbsp;<h2>Why carbon removal is becoming more important</h2>Climate scientists have repeatedly argued that cutting emissions alone may not be enough. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, carbon dioxide removal technologies are likely to play a role in achieving global net-zero emissions targets. The challenge is that the industry remains relatively small and expensive. Many companies want to reduce their carbon footprint but struggle to find reliable large-scale carbon removal providers.&nbsp;That is where Frontier hopes to make a difference. The organisation acts as a shared platform that helps companies support emerging carbon removal technologies while reducing investment risks.&nbsp;<h2>Frontier is becoming more selective</h2>Alongside the new funding commitments, Frontier announced changes to its strategy. Rather than backing a large number of smaller projects, the organisation plans to focus on fewer projects with the potential to remove at least one billion metric tonnes of carbon dioxide annually in the future. New contracts are expected to run for eight to ten years. Frontier also said future projects will face stricter requirements, including demonstrating a path towards government support or subsidy programmes. The growing AI and climate debate. Anthropic's decision arrives during a broader debate about artificial intelligence and sustainability. AI systems require enormous computing resources, which in turn demand significant amounts of electricity and water. Technology companies including Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta are investing billions of dollars in data centres to support growing AI demand. As those investments increase, pressure is also growing for companies to explain how they plan to manage their environmental impact. For Anthropic, joining Frontier may be only a first step. But it reflects a reality that many AI companies can no longer ignore: the future of artificial intelligence may depend not only on computing power, but also on how sustainably that power is produced and used.

Anthropic has joined Frontier, becoming the first AI startup to back the carbon removal initiative. The move comes as AI companies face growing scrutiny over energy use, emissions and the environmental impact of rapidly expanding data centre infrastructure.

As artificial intelligence companies race to build larger models and more powerful data centres, another challenge is moving into focus: climate impact.

Anthropic becomes first AI company to join Frontier's carbon removal effort as industry's energy demands rise

A viral moment from the India AI Impact Summit earlier this year has resurfaced after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei offered his explanation of what happened on stage alongside OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The incident attracted widespread attention after videos appeared to show the two AI leaders refusing to hold hands during a group photograph.&nbsp; &nbsp;<h2>However, Amodei says the reality was far less dramatic</h2>Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg, he said the situation was the result of confusion and last-minute changes rather than a reflection of tensions between the two executives. 'The summit was extremely disorganised' Amodei said the organisers changed arrangements shortly before the photograph was taken.&nbsp;"The summit was extremely disorganised," he told Bloomberg.According to him, participants were brought on stage at the last minute and the order in which people were standing changed unexpectedly. "We all came up at the last minute and they changed the order in which we were standing, and then they took a picture of us and then they ordered us all to hold hands," he said.&nbsp;Amodei stressed that he was not specifically criticising India."I am not saying anything bad about India in particular, but like all of these kinds of international summits that have heads of state are super disorganised," he added.&nbsp;Prime Minister Modi was also on stageAmodei also recalled the unusual circumstances surrounding the photograph. "There was Narendra Modi up there suddenly telling everyone to hold hands," he said while describing the moment. The comments offer a new perspective on an incident that generated significant online discussion among technology enthusiasts and AI observers. At the time, many interpreted the body language of the executives as evidence of friction between two of the most influential companies in artificial intelligence.<h2>The larger story: Anthropic versus OpenAI</h2>While Amodei dismissed speculation surrounding the summit photograph, he spoke more openly about his departure from OpenAI. The Anthropic chief was among several senior figures who left OpenAI in 2021 to establish Anthropic, a company that has since become one of OpenAI's biggest competitors. Founded by Dario Amodei, his sister Daniela Amodei and other former OpenAI employees, Anthropic has built its reputation around AI safety and responsible development.&nbsp;During the interview, Amodei suggested that disagreements over safety were not the sole reason behind his departure.<h2>Why Amodei says he left OpenAI</h2>According to Amodei, trust played a larger role than policy disagreements. "There are many valid disagreements to be had on safety. We certainly had some of those disagreements with them, but that alone is not sufficient to leave," he said.&nbsp;&nbsp;"When you feel that you can't trust someone, when you feel that their values are not what they say they are, when you feel that they're not honest, that makes it very hard to continue to work with a company," he said.&nbsp;Amodei also said he has no regrets about the decision. "Why argue with someone when you don't have the same vision and you don't trust them?" he said, adding that the market and public would ultimately decide which approach succeeds.&nbsp;The remarks come at a time when competition in artificial intelligence is intensifying. Anthropic and OpenAI are among the most closely watched companies in the global AI race, alongside major technology firms investing billions of dollars into advanced AI models. As AI becomes increasingly important to business, governments and consumers, public interest in the relationships between industry leaders continues to grow. For now, however, Amodei says one of the internet's favourite AI rivalries may have been overanalysed. According to him, the viral India AI Summit moment was less about corporate competition and more about a chaotic stage arrangement.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says the viral moment involving Sam Altman at the India AI Impact Summit was caused by confusion and last-minute changes on stage, not rivalry. He also opened up about why he left OpenAI and founded Anthropic.
