Anthropic's Amodei And Nvidia's Huang Clash Over AI Safety At Salesforce Dreamforce

According to CNBC, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang offered contrasting views on artificial intelligence safety at Salesforce's Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, where Salesforce also announced a new reasoning model for its Agentforce platform built on one of Nvidia's open-weight Nemotron models. Amodei, speaking with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, said the industry should set an example and slow the pace of model development, while Huang argued that market forces already provide discipline and that speed and safety can coexist. Benioff said companies should slow down or speed up as they see fit, but should be held accountable. Salesforce and Anthropic also expanded their strategic partnership late last month and unveiled Claudeforce, a new way for salespeople to access data directly inside Anthropic's Claude chatbot.
