At Salesforce's Dreamforce conference, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for slowing AI development and implementing third-party safety evaluators, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argued against deceleration. The debate reflects broader industry tensions over AI safety, with OpenAI's Sam Altman emphasizing security rigor and Donald Trump dismissing AI concerns as a hoax.
Crypto industry figures debate whether supporting Trump was strategically misguided, citing his family's memecoin profiteering and self-dealing as factors that undermined the Clarity legislation's passage. Laura Shin argues the crypto community faced poor choices between Democrats targeting crypto and Trump's promises, but his actions as president—launching memecoins and extracting wealth—damaged prospects for comprehensive crypto regulation.

The U.S. Senate failed to advance H.R. 3633, the CLARITY Act, a major surveillance and stablecoin regulation bill that fell short of the 60 votes needed to begin debate. The bill proposed controversial measures including wallet freezes without judicial oversight and stablecoin seizure powers. Regulatory guidance may proceed independently of congressional legislation.

The bill contested stablecoin yield, deposit flight from community banks, developer liability in DeFi, and state preemption, though Bitcoin—already a CFTC commodity since 2015 with spot ETFs trading since January 2024—sat outside these debates. Industry participants remain optimistic about regulatory clarity through SEC and CFTC rulemaking.
Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez criticized calls from AI leaders like Anthropic's Dario Amodei to slow AI development, arguing such coordination would entrench power with Silicon Valley giants and prevent competition. Gomez proposed independent international frameworks for AI safety oversight instead, while rejecting proposals that would preserve existing market dominance under the guise of risk prevention.
At Salesforce's Dreamforce conference, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei advocated slowing AI model development to ensure safety, gaining support from executives including Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
