Paradox of AI slowdown calls: companies want regulation as governments push back

Leading AI developers such as Anthropic and OpenAI are calling for slowing advanced AI model development to build safety and control mechanisms, while government leaders appear reluctant. U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed the need for stronger federal AI regulation and warned it could cripple U.S. firms and give China an edge. AI executives have urged consistent safety standards and international coordination, but U.S.-China cooperation looks difficult and critics call the slowdown push overblown.
