European artificial-intelligence companies are resisting calls from some U.S. technology leaders to slow frontier AI development, Reuters reported.
Executives and policymakers in Europe argue that voluntary limits could disproportionately benefit companies that already hold a large lead in models, compute and capital. Supporters of a slowdown say development is advancing faster than governance and safety systems.
The disagreement highlights a growing tension in AI policy: how to address potentially severe risks without freezing the competitive landscape in favor of today's largest developers.
