Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei compared the AI race with China to Cold War nuclear tensions, urging arms limitation-style talks to slow growing technology.

China’s artificial intelligence industry is shifting from competition in large models and computing power toward the deployment and commercialization of AI agents, according to a report by the China Telecom Research Institute cited by China Central Television on Saturday.

Abusive use of AI by adversaries could “directly threaten China’s political security, institutional security and ideological security,” State Security Minister Chen Yixin wrote in an article posted Sunday on the official China Cyberspace magazine.

Technology executives are calling for a slowdown in development of the models amid growing concerns they pose a threat to civilization.

House Speaker Mike Johnson rejected an AI moratorium, warning China could overtake the U.S. as Anthropic, Elon Musk and Sam Altman push for a slowdown.

Trump rejects an AI slowdown over China. Congress says AI safety is the developers' job. Then Xi called for a framework.

China’s data regulator said it plans to develop standards for embodied artificial intelligence and guide local authorities in related work, as demand for high-quality, diverse and large-scale datasets continues to grow.

House Speaker Mike Johnson argued that it is the AI industry's responsibility to ensure its technology is safe, saying that government regulation of the space could "smother American innovation." Johnson appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning for a 16-minute conversation with Jake Tapper.
