Top AI leaders propose slowing down AI development
When top bosses warn about their own tools, change may come soon.
The Briefing
What today actually means
AI bosses want brakes
The heads of Anthropic and OpenAI say AI should slow down. That is a big shift from last year. If they slow down, small builders get time to catch up.
Not everyone believes them
Experts and politicians call the slowdown talk too little, too late. Some think it is a trick to block competitors. Watch what they do, not what they say.
Trust is now the real product
A new study shows heavy ChatGPT users do not trust it more. People want AI answers they can check. Builders who fix trust will win.

Career Threat

Obama says leaders must make clear AI plans now. Governments will need people who can explain AI risk in plain words. That skill is rare and will be paid well.
