Source published: Sep 12, 2026 · time not supplied · Event: 2026-09-12
Reuters and AP report that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for slowing the development of advanced AI models so safety measures can catch up. Both report that Elon Musk responded on X that Amodei was right; AP also reports that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman supported one of Amodei's proposals.
Response / context
The reviewed reports describe a brief public endorsement by Musk, not a commitment by SpaceX, xAI or another Musk company to a specific development schedule or safety regime. Neither report alleges misconduct by Musk in connection with the statement.
