Elon Musk has called for major artificial intelligence developers, including xAI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and prominent Chinese technology companies, to let competitors evaluate their AI models before public release. Speaking at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles on Monday, Musk said rival assessments could identify risks that companies might miss when reviewing their own systems. The proposal followed a weekend essay by Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei urging slower AI development, which was endorsed by Musk and OpenAI’s Sam Altman. Former Anthropic and OpenAI employee Jacob Coxon accused major laboratories of putting humanity at risk, while Anthropic AI-alignment researcher Evan Hubinger estimated a probability of more than 10% that AI could cause human extinction within the next 10 years. Amodei instead proposed independent embedded evaluators to assess safety procedures inside AI companies. President Donald Trump rejected calls for restrictions, describing AI safety concerns as deceptive and fraudulent, while Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett said private industry should handle AI issues under government oversight. China’s Foreign Ministry also dismissed calls to slow development as alarmist. Musk’s companies have opposed regional AI legislation, while xAI faces lawsuits and investigations linked to inappropriate deepfake (synthetic media falsely depicting people) material generated by Grok. SpaceX stock fell 3.15% on Tuesday.
