AI safety debate meets reality at Dreamforce as business leaders say last year's models are enough

At Salesforce's annual Dreamforce mega-conference in San Francisco this week, the keynote conversations between CEO Marc Benioff and the heads of Anthropic , OpenAI and Nvidia delved into the raging AI safety debate, with the execs opining on whether model development is moving too fast. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, while on stage with Benioff, urged frontier labs to "run as fast as you can."
