Is Big Tech’s AI slowdown a safety pact or a cartel?
The Verge reports that leaders from major AI organizations—including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis, and SpaceX head Elon Musk—loosely agreed to slow development to "pace the frontier," prompting scrutiny over whether the arrangement is a safety initiative or anticompetitive coordination.
