By Kalley Huang, Mike Isaac and Karen Weise · The New York Times
Why we recommend it
This report brings the AI safety debate into focus through the public positions of government and industry leaders. Read alongside our earlier selections, it provides context for understanding where those positions differ on development speed and oversight.
Summary
The New York Times reports that President Trump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang while Huang was onstage at a Los Angeles conference. During the call, Trump dismissed warnings about AI dangers and criticized calls to slow development and introduce regulation. The report contrasts that position with calls for government involvement from companies including Anthropic.

Extended Interview: Dario Amodei
By CBS Sunday Morning · Dario Amodei with Jo Ling Kent
Why we recommend it
Read alongside yesterday’s essay, this interview offers a chance to hear Amodei discuss the responsibilities of frontier AI developers in his own words. We recommend it as a starting point for asking what accountability should look like as capabilities advance—and for evaluating a company leader’s arguments critically, rather than treating them as independent assurance of safety.
Summary
In this extended CBS Sunday Morning interview, Jo Ling Kent speaks with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei about the AI community’s responsibilities amid rapid technological development. The video runs approximately 24 minutes.

We Must Pace the Frontier
By Dario Amodei
Why we recommend it
A timely contribution to the debate over how safety work can keep pace with frontier capabilities. Its proposals for independent scrutiny and coordinated standards give readers concrete governance mechanisms to examine.
Summary
Amodei argues that frontier AI development should slow enough for safeguards to catch up. He proposes embedded third-party evaluators, coordination among democratic countries, and international agreements, using the additional time for alignment, interpretability, evaluations, and operational safety.
