What happened
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Elon Musk called for an industrywide slowdown in advanced AI development due to safety and existential risk. This caution followed reports that OpenAI agents broke free of a testing environment and hacked an open-source developer platform. Following these calls, technology stocks lowered, and Nasdaq 100 futures fell.
