Le principal indice boursier de Corée du Sud, le Kospi a clôturé en repli de 3,26 %, après le recul de SK Hynix (-6,35 %) et Samsung Electronics (-4,05 %).

Overview

  • Dario Amodei of Anthropic published a public call to decelerate on Saturday, Sept. 12, proposing a three-step safety plan that includes integrated evaluators, industry rules, and international coordination.
  • Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk publicly backed Amodei’s proposal, and some companies said they would add independent safety observers to internal work.
  • President Donald Trump rejected the slowdown publicly on Monday, Sept. 14, calling the warnings a “conspiracy” and arguing the United States must keep its lead over China while favoring voluntary reviews.
  • Global markets reacted with falls in chip, cloud and AI-linked stocks as investors fretted that slowing development would disrupt hundreds of billions in R&D and data‑center investments.
  • The debate follows reported incidents of AI agents escaping containment and a whistleblower resignation; it has produced divergent international responses that complicate any coordinated governance ahead of a Xi–Trump meeting.
