Competition
Competition in artificial intelligence is the intense rivalry among major tech firms, research institutions, and governments to develop and deploy the most capable AI systems, spanning foundation models, applications, and hardware.
Intense market pressure creates a "race to the bottom" where firms cut corners on safety research to maintain competitive advantage, increasing the risk of deploying uncontrollable or harmful systems. Leading AI model providers often compete directly with their own customers (app developers), creating incentives to degrade rival services or deny access to maintain market dominance.
Dominant firms may abuse their control over essential inputs (like computing power and data) to stifle innovation, while the use of shared AI algorithms by competitors can lead to tacit collusion in pricing and market behavior.
The pages below are an shocking collection of developments showing how competition leads to taking risk that turns into a threat to the existence of us all.

US President Donald Trump has downplayed fears on the development of artificial intelligence, despite widespread concerns on the technology's safety. Trump says he does not want America to concede its AI edge to China. He adds that while there is need for regulation, "negative forces" are behind warnings and the push for oversight. He's added that some of the fears will not happen and "whoever wins with AI, wins".

The race to develop artificial intelligence is in dire need of a slowdown, Anthropic’s chief executive Dario Amodei said in an essay posted early Saturday. “We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models. Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain,” Amodei wrote in the 3,800-word post to his website.
