Tech Giants Call for an AI Slowdown; Acer Chairman Chen Junsheng Says It's Unlikely — Technology Will Only Accelerate
Summary
Recently, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman and Tesla's Elon Musk have successively called for slowing the pace of developing the most advanced AI. Acer founder Stan Shih argues that technological progress cannot really be stopped, while Acer chairman Chen Junsheng says flatly that a slowdown is 'unlikely' because technology will only move faster, with the key being effective governance along the way. Shih also noted that even if AI development slowed, Taiwan's production capacity would not be enough to support its pace.
Bubble analysis
This is mainly a war of words among industry leaders over whether AI development should slow down, with no concrete figures on investment, valuation or capex, so it speaks only indirectly to the question of whether AI is in an investment bubble. Its one relevant angle: if leading companies actually slowed frontier-model work, demand for compute and chips could cool, affecting the AI investment cycle — but so far these are only verbal calls, with no real action.
