Growing fears over safety of Artificial Intelligence have compelled the Washington administration to demand tech firms to slow down on AI development.
The Trump administration has called for a voluntary slowdown in artificial intelligence development over escalating safety fears.
Taarifa has learned of a sweeping safety warning published by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and endorsed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and xAI owner Elon Musk—urged the industry to implement independent, third-party safety reviews to mitigate the risk of advanced AI models spinning out of human control.
US President Donald Trump has cautioned against the advanced AI development projects, stating that “very negative forces” are bringing up scenarios that “won’t happen.”
Trump emphasized that his administration’s primary objective is to maintain a light-touch regulatory environment to ensure the U.S. beats China in the AI race, asserting, “whoever wins AI wins.”

China has sharply rejected advanced AI safety fears assumed by the Trump administration arguing that it’s part of an American “Cold War playbook.”
The Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry said in response to Trump fears, “Fearmongering, confrontation and malicious competition will only disrupt the process of global AI governance and serve no one’s interests.”

The difference in approach on tackling AI progress is likely to be a central issue.
Chinese companies now offer advanced AI performance at a fraction of the cost of U.S. models, with President Xi Jinping pitching China as a pioneer of open-source models in contrast to those produced by most leading American companies.
At the BRICS summit in India on Sunday, he offered member nations help to develop open-source AI. Xi has also outlined a potential global governance framework on AI among the Global South.
