US proposes AI safety mechanism in talks with China

Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei called for the AI industry to slow its pace of development, citing safety concerns, and OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk voiced agreement, while OpenAI delayed a planned IPO. President Trump dismissed the AI risk warnings, calling them a hoax and saying a strong president is the only guardrail AI needs, and later announced plans to form an AI Force and appoint an AI czar. Amid the debate, Congress held hearings on possible AI regulation, and the United States and China discussed an AI safety alert mechanism ahead of a Trump-Xi summit.

Nvidia CEO Huang attending Trump's state dinner for China's Xi: Source

Axios covers the story as a fast-moving, high-stakes policy drama: it treats industry safety warnings and CEO calls to 'pace the frontier' as credible and urgent, chronicles the CEOs' rare unity, and frames Washington's response (Trump's dismissal, Johnson's deference to industry, Democrats' urgency) largely as a story of political paralysis and distrust of AI companies rather than taking a strong ideological side.

Democrats embraced AI’s growth before Trump came along; now, they want to slow it down

Right-leaning outlets (Breitbart, Daily Wire, Daily Caller, Fox News, Washington Times) largely amplify Trump's dismissal of AI risk warnings as a 'hoax' and 'sick conspiracy,' frame Amodei and Anthropic's calls for regulation as self-interested attempts at regulatory capture or monopolization against competitors and open-source AI, emphasize the US-China competitive framing ('whoever wins AI wins'), and give substantial voice to lawmakers and figures (Huang, Zuckerberg, Vance, Sacks) skeptical of both AI doomerism and government regulation.
