On September 14, Bloomberg reported that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took to social media on Sunday, advocating for the necessity of "regulating" the speed of AI development to avert the uncontrolled proliferation of cutting-edge AI models. Echoing the sentiments expressed by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Altman posited that while the shift towards ensuring AI safety entails certain costs, it is instrumental in bolstering trust in the responsible AI development practices of U.S. firms. He underscored that regulating the pace of AI advancement does not equate to stalling technological progress. Altman reiterated his support for the establishment of a federal regulatory framework for AI and emphasized the importance of international collaboration in this endeavor. Earlier, Altman had announced that OpenAI would decelerate the pace of its frontier technology development, refrain from going public by 2026, and prioritize safety considerations above all else. This strategic shift had repercussions on Asian AI-related stocks, triggering a downturn in their market performance.
