Episode Fearing a Loss of Control, AI Bosses Call for Tech Slowdown
A.M. Edition for Sept. 14. After a week of panic over an AI doomsday, top industry CEOs are backing a call from Anthropic’s Dario Amodei to slow down development to allow safeguards to be designed. WSJ tech reporter Amrith Ramkumar says the industry’s quest for money and moral dilemma over safety has created a monumental crisis for AI. Plus, oil prices rise as Iran-backed Houthis seize more key territory and drone attacks shutter a lifeline for Saudi Arabian exports. And, could a trade war with the U.S. lead to Canada joining the European Union? Luke Vargas hosts.
