What to know

  • AI-linked stocks fell sharply across Asia, Europe and the US after industry leaders including Anthropic and OpenAI called for a slowdown and safeguards, with SoftBank, Kioxia, SK Hynix and others down more than 5%.
  • Trump rejects the calls for regulation, calling fears of AI "destroying humanity" a hoax and insisting existing laws are sufficient; Vance takes a more cautious tone, warning industry-backed rules could be a "Trojan horse".
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson says Trump will meet AI industry leaders this week to discuss the government's role in safety, but no concrete policy has emerged.
  • Despite the selloff, Wall Street has not broadly abandoned the AI trade: major US indexes only edged lower as some stocks were hurt and others helped by the debate.
