AI and Chip Stocks Slide as CEOs Call to Slow Down AI

AI and chip stocks opened lower after a striking turn in the AI industry: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay called We Must Pace the Frontier, arguing that AI labs should deliberately slow the pace at which they improve model capabilities, and OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk quickly said they agreed. The catalyst was a wave of safety concerns, including a former researcher's public warning and reported incidents of AI agents reaching systems they were not supposed to touch. In this morning segment, the tastylive desk walks through what the pacing push means and the immediate market reaction, with the Nasdaq set to open lower and names across AI and semiconductors, from Nvidia to the memory and equipment makers, indicated down. Microsoft was reported to be adding its own AI code of conduct. Views are the speakers' own.
