AI brief

An opinion piece argues that tech CEOs suggesting AI firms should coordinate to "pace the frontier" is a dangerous proposition and an old corporate ruse to avoid antitrust scrutiny, citing Anthropic's Dario Amodei as an example.

Why it matters: It raises concerns that AI companies pushing for coordination could seek exemptions from antitrust laws.
