**AI Stocks Face a Safety Brake**

The heads of **OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI** are calling for slower AI development. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AI is improving faster than it can be safely controlled.

The five largest tech companies are committing roughly **$700 billion this year** to AI infrastructure. A deliberate slowdown could push the payoff years further out while spending continues.

Lawmakers are pushing mandatory safety audits and reporting for major labs. Researchers who left OpenAI and Anthropic also warn that the technology needs more caution.

That leaves **three threats**: builders calling for a slowdown, regulators closing in, and spending rising. The trade has climbed for **3 to 4 years**.
