Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has proposed a framework to 'pace the frontier' of AI development, advocating for independent safety evaluations and coordination among AI labs in democratic countries. The plan aims to mitigate risks associated with rapid advancement but has drawn criticism from industry figures like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, who questions the feasibility of slowing progress. While some leaders have expressed support, significant pushback suggests that achieving consensus on what 'slowing down' entails remains a major challenge for the industry.

Meta Muse AI Agent Now Places US Business Calls
Meta’s consumer agent Muse is rolling out voice calling to US businesses for paid subscribers, targeting the tedious task of customer service navigation. With over 10 million users, Meta is betting that AI’s infinite patience will replace human frustration with phone trees and hold times. The feature leverages improved voice mimicry to interact with receptionists, though many still hang up upon detecting non-human voices. This moves Muse from text-based assistance into active, autonomous execution of real-world tasks, marking a significant step toward mainstream consumer AI utility.
