Technology stocks fell sharply on Monday following serious warnings about AI development, with Nvidia dropping 4% and the Nasdaq falling over 1% in early trading. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged AI companies to slow their "reckless" development pace, warning that advanced AI agents could cause severe economic damage. His call was supported by OpenAI's Sam Altman, Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, and SpaceX's Elon Musk. Asian semiconductor markets were hit hardest, with SoftBank plunging 14% and TSMC falling 3.2%. Memory chip makers including SanDisk, Intel, and Micron each dropped about 6%, amid broader concerns that AI valuations have exceeded actual profits generated.
