Anthropic's Amodei says China presents 'toughest dilemma' for his proposed AI slowdown

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay proposing that AI companies slow the advancement of their most powerful models, but he identified a major challenge: if competing nations like China don't agree to the same slowdown, other countries might fall behind militarily and technologically. Amodei acknowledged this creates a difficult international coordination problem, saying 'I don't know if it's possible, but we should try' to establish a global speed limit on AI progress.
