AI safety debate heads to Dreamforce as Trump pushes back on calls to slow development

And now a live look toward downtown San Francisco on a Monday night, where tens of thousands of people will attend the annual Dreamforce conference this week. The event is put on by Salesforce, and this year, a major focus will be artificial intelligence. Speakers do include Anthropic CEO Dario Amadei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wang. And as KTVU's Betty Yu reports tonight, Dreamforce is coming as the national debate over the technology reaches a fever pitch. The world's biggest AI debate is coming to San Francisco. Dreamforce, the city's biggest annual conference, kicks off Tuesday, bringing together some of the most powerful people shaping the future of AI. Anthropic CEO Dario Amadei is calling for the industry to slow the development of its most powerful models, warning AI could eventually outrun our ability to control it. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has agreed the industry needs to pace the frontier, while NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wang is pushing in the other direction. In a video posted on X, President Trump surprised Wang Monday, calling him while the NVIDIA CEO was live on stage at the All In Summit in Los Angeles. Wang put the president on speakerphone. Trump dismissed fears of AI taking over and said he doesn't want to lose the AI race to China. And Wang made clear he doesn't support slowing development either. But researchers point to increasingly sophisticated behavior already emerging from advanced AI models, including systems capable of autonomous hacking and attempts to evade a shutdown. And the pressure is growing in Washington. Lawmakers from both parties are considering how the federal government should respond to AI's rapid development. Amadei said our window to act is short, arguing even slowing development by a year or two could give researchers valuable time to make AI safer. But we have seen some signs. We don't want to wait until it is too late. On Tuesday, Jensen and Dario are expected to join Mark Benioff during his keynote morning address. And then in the afternoon, Mark Benioff will join Sam Altman for a conversation about the future of AI and the growing partnership between Salesforce and OpenAI.
