Global Times editorial says Anthropic CEO's AI slowdown call is a Cold War tactic against China
An editorial in China's state-backed Global Times accused Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei of using safety concerns as cover to curb China's AI development through chip export controls and regulatory barriers. Amodei's essay, endorsed by Sam Altman and Elon Musk, urged the US to tighten chip controls on China; Trump rejected calls to slow AI, and US-China talks on frontier AI risks are planned for mid-September.
