Risks bring competitors together, but Trump criticizes "negative forces" that want to slow AI development

Expresso13 September 2026 at 15:57

Elon Musk, from xAI, and Sam Altman, from OpenAI, spoke out on Saturday in favor of Dario Amodei's proposal, CEO of Anthropic, to slow the pace of artificial intelligence development. The two competitors in the sector showed unity on this position, which arose after several incidents related to the technology.

Despite this convergence among competing companies, Donald Trump criticized the "negative forces" that want to slow AI development. The former US president positioned himself against any attempt to reduce the pace of technological advances in this sector.

Amodei's proposal aims to implement stricter safety measures and pause the development of AI systems during periods of crisis or instability, in order to avoid incidents similar to those that prompted this discussion.

Why this matters

This news is relevant for readers in Portugal and worldwide because it directly affects the future of artificial intelligence regulation, a technology increasingly present in daily life. The rare consensus among competitors like Musk and Altman on the need to slow development contrasts with Trump's position, signaling an important political debate about the limits of technological innovation.
