What happened
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, along with Sam Altman and Elon Musk, called for a more measured pace of artificial intelligence development, citing risks associated with increasingly powerful systems. This caution follows reports that hackers accessed OpenAI's private systems and warnings from researchers that AI poses threats in areas like cyber security and autonomous weapon control.
Why it matters
The calls for a slowdown led to sharp selling pressure on global artificial intelligence-linked stocks. SoftBank, which owns about 13 per cent of OpenAI, fell over 11 per cent, and South Korea's Kospi index dropped nearly 4 per cent.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and political pressure on the Trump administration are weighing on market sentiment, while OpenAI proposes solutions to reduce AI financing risks.
