AI slowdown calls clash with $800 billion infrastructure bets, raising fears for U.S. economy

Calls to slow U.S. artificial intelligence development are colliding with expectations of a surge in investment, drawing attention to how an AI slowdown could affect the broader economy. U.S. hyperscalers are forecast to spend $800 billion on AI infrastructure this year, while proposals range from pacing frontier-model development to halting advanced AI until federal rules are set. Markets are also watching how any pullback in AI investment could ripple through growth, stocks and credit.

About 24 firms agreed to independent safety audits, shared standards and benchmarks, and regular consultations covering issues including cybersecurity and biosafety. The agreement does not impose new legal duties, and enforcement details remain unclear as AI safety incidents continue.

David Sacks slams Anthropic, OpenAI slowdown argument, says two companies can just not build it

David Sacks, co-chair of the U.S. President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, criticised Anthropic and OpenAI’s calls to slow AI development. He said they should not condition a slowdown on the creation of new regulatory frameworks or outside approval. Sacks listed five issues, including calls to halt antitrust enforcement and demands for regulatory approvals. He also questioned portraying the motive as altruistic and said the easiest way to avoid superintelligence is for the two companies not to build it.
