Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft
"No government in the world is ready for the changes artificial intelligence will bring to society," Gates told Reuters.
The billionaire philanthropist had been optimistic about AI's health applications, but has recently warned of threats to jobs, concerns about attacks and the dangers of addiction to AI companions, and called for an international organization to manage the technology.
Demis Hassabis, chief scientist at Alphabet
"Dario's essay points towards the right path forward," though the details need to be worked through, the former CEO of Google DeepMind said in a response to Amodei's X post.
Google announced last month that Hassabis, a Nobel Prize recipient, would take the newly created title of Alphabet’s chief scientist and transition from DeepMind CEO to its chairman.
Andrej Karpathy, OpenAI co-founder, now at Anthropic
"I love this and really hope we can come together as an industry and make it happen," the founding member of OpenAI said on X while sharing a screenshot of Amodei's essay.
Karpathy, a highly influential member in the AI community, played a key role in developing Tesla's self-driving and AI technology before leaving the company in 2022. He joined Anthropic in May.
Eric Xu, Huawei rotating chairman
Xu said on Thursday Chinese AI developers may not yet be advanced enough to experience the safety risks reported by leading US firms, arguing they should continue developing more powerful models while balancing innovation against risk.
"Maybe the type of risk from AI that they can feel, they can perceive, is something that people in China or AI model providers in China cannot," Xu told reporters, noting that US AI companies have "massive computing power".
United States
"The only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that China would benefit from doubt being cast on AI development.
US Senator Mark Warner, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, dismissed much of the doomsday talk surrounding AI, while saying Congress should pass legislation by the year-end to set AI safety standards.
China
State-backed Global Times said in an editorial that the true agenda of Amodei's essay was "to attempt to curb China's AI development through technological barriers and regulatory monopolies, uphold Washington's monopolistic hegemony in cutting-edge technology, and exclude China from the global AI governance system."
China's state security minister, Chen Yixin, wrote in a government outlet that advanced US models such as Anthropic's Mythos and OpenAI's GPT-5.5-Cyber could pose serious risks to China's critical information infrastructure, and called for a comprehensive strengthening of AI security.
Britain
King Charles will urge leading AI executives to ensure the technology remains "firmly in the service of humanity" when he meets them in Scotland on Thursday, according to excerpts released by the palace.
European Union
"The European Union is in favour of developing innovation in artificial intelligence, but companies have to prove their services are safe for citizens to operate in the bloc," European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier said.
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen backed calls for a pause in the development of the technology, saying she would invite the main frontier AI labs to discuss efforts to tackle the risks.
