Update: Wall Street Dips as AI Warnings Weigh on Tech Sector

(Updates with market moves at the end of the day, and other changes, if any.)Wall Street's equity benchmarks fell Monday as warnings from Anthropic and OpenAI on increasing safety risks tied to artificial intelligence triggered a selloff in the technology sector.The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite declined 0.6% to close at 26,186.41. The S&P 500 dropped 0.5% to 7,619.98, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.3% to 52,421.20. Most sectors ended in the red, led by tech, while communication services paced the gainers.Dario Amodei, chief executive of AI chatbot Claude maker Anthropic, called on the industry Saturday to slow the pace at which it advances AI model capabilities. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX (SPCX) CEO Elon Musk supported Amodei's call.OpenAI's initial public offering will not take place this year, Altman separately said in a Fortune Magazine interview, citing the need for safety-related work, according to Bloomberg News.Shares of tech bellwether Nvidia (NVDA) were the third-worst performer on the Dow, down 3.4%. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Micron Technology (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), Intel (INTC) and Qualcomm (QCOM) also closed lower.US President Donald Trump sought to allay those AI safety fears, calling them a "hoax.""AI taking over the world, destroying humanity, and all other things bad, is a hoax," he said in a social media post on Monday.In an earlier post on Truth Social, Trump said that "there is a sick conspiracy going on against AI and data centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China."West Texas Intermediate crude oil was up 1.7% at $101.76 a barrel in Monday late-afternoon trade, while Brent rose 1.6% to $106.23, both trading off the day's peaks.The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it destroyed an advanced US MQ-1 drone over the Strait of Hormuz, a key crude and energy chokepoint, CNBC reported.A meeting to discuss the future of the strait, scheduled for Monday with Tehran and Gulf states, has been postponed, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said on X. The postponement comes following Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis' attack on Saudi Arabia last week.Trump said Monday that Iran "wants to make a deal, quickly and badly.""I will determine whether or not the USA will choose to engage," Trump said in a social media post.Treasury yields were higher, with the two-year rate rising 1.4 basis points to 4.66% and the 10-year rate up 1.2 basis points at 4.99%.The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points at this week's policy meeting, with its latest "dot plot" likely signaling another hike later this year, UBS Securities said in a note.

Stocks Fall Pre-Bell Amid AI Safety Warnings; Investors Await Fed Rate Decision

The benchmark US stock measures were tracking in the red before the opening bell Monday as traders assess warnings from leading artificial intelligence executives about the rapid pace of AI developments and await a major policy decision by the Federal Reserve later in the week.The S&P 500 declined 0.8%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 0.3%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 1.8% in premarket activity. All three main indexes finished Friday trading higher, snapping a four-day losing streak.Dario Amodei, chief executive of AI chatbot Claude maker Anthropic, called on the industry Saturday to slow the pace at which it advances AI model capabilities. His three-step plan for ensuring that safety measures keep pace with advances in AI model capabilities includes placing independent evaluators inside leading AI companies with "employee-like access."OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX (SPCX) CEO Elon Musk supported Amodei's call in posts on X.Shares of Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Micron Technology (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), Intel (INTC) and Qualcomm (QCOM) were down pre-bell. Shares of AI hyperscalers including Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN) and Meta Platforms (META) also dropped.With no major economic reports scheduled for Monday, traders will focus on the Fed's monetary policy committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday, with a decision on interest rates due the following day. Markets are currently pricing in an 87% probability that the central bank will hike its benchmark lending rate by 25 basis points, with the remaining odds in favor of another Fed pause.In remarks emailed toon Friday, Oxford Economics said it "expects a third consecutive set of moderate inflation readings to tip a narrow majority towards holding rates," although "rising oil prices and still-elevated inflation make a risk-management case for a hike."Last week, official data showed that US consumer inflation hit a three-month high in August as energy prices rose, while the core measure unexpectedly accelerated.Treasury yields were down, with the two-year rate retreating 1.8 basis points to 4.63% while the 10-year rate was off 1.6 basis points to 4.96%.West Texas Intermediate crude oil rose 2.6% to $102.66 a barrel, while Brent gained 2.7% to $107.38.A diplomatic meeting between Iran and several Gulf states to discuss the future of the Strait of Hormuz has been called off, following Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis' attack on a military airbase in Saudi Arabia, Reuters reported. The meeting was scheduled for Monday.Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry said Friday that the kingdom shut down its key East-West crude oil pipeline in the Riyadh and Madinah regions as a precautionary measure a day after the facility was targeted in multiple attacks. The pipeline closure leaves the Strait of Hormuz as the kingdom's only route for moving large volumes of crude westward, according to Rystad Energy.Gold slipped 1.9% to $4,327 per troy ounce, while bitcoin edged 0.9% higher to $77,992.

Major Tech Stocks Fall as AI Leaders Warn of Risks From Rapid Advances

Shares of major technology companies fell early Monday after leading artificial intelligence executives warned of increasing safety risks and urged the industry to advance AI model capabilities at a more measured pace.Anthropic Chief Executive Dario Amodei called on the industry to slow the pace at which it advances AI model capabilities in an essay published on his personal website Saturday. Addressing the technology's risks requires greater caution, and capabilities should advance at a pace that gives risk-prevention efforts time to keep up, he said."Since roughly this summer, AI has been advancing drastically faster, driven primarily by AI's growing ability to build the next generation of AI," Amodei said. "Left unchecked, it could outrun our ability to understand and control these systems, and so must be pursued very carefully, if at all."Shares of Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Micron Technology (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), Intel (INTC) and Qualcomm (QCOM) were all trending lower in the most recent premarket activity. Shares of major technology companies investing heavily in AI infrastructure, including Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN) and Meta Platforms (META), also fell.OpenAI CEO Sam Altman supported Amodei's call. "I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier," Altman said in a Saturday post on X."We could lose control of the future to AI," Altman wrote separately in a latest post on X, explaining the potential negative consequences of AI progress. "This is unacceptable; we are unapologetically on Team Humanity, and AI must always serve people. To ensure that, we need ways to ensure that alignment and safety techniques stay ahead of progress in model capabilities."Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX (SPCX) CEO Elon Musk also endorsed Amodei's call, writing on X, "Dario is right."In an interview with Fortune published over the weekend, Altman said OpenAI will not go public this year due to AI safety concerns. Earlier this year, OpenAI and Anthropic confidentially filed for their potential initial public offerings in the US.Amodei proposed a three-step plan to temper AI development without "sacrificing commercial advantage or the United States' lead in AI." The plan calls for placing independent evaluators inside leading AI companies, establishing common safety standards across the industry and coordinating safeguards among governments worldwide.Meanwhile, President Donald Trump on Sunday pushed back on concerns surrounding AI risks. "I think you have a lot of very negative forces that are bringing it up that shouldn't be bringing it up and they're bringing up things that won't happen," Trump told reporters, according to a Reuters report.Trump also reportedly said that the US is "leading China" in the AI industry and that he would like to "keep it that way because whoever wins AI wins."Last month, cybersecurity company CrowdStrike (CRWD) lifted its full-year net new annual recurring revenue, or ARR, outlook amid increasing demand for solutions to address AI risks.Palo Alto Networks (PANW) CEO Nikesh Arora said during an earnings call earlier this month that he expected AI tailwinds driving cybersecurity demand to intensify in the future.Concerns about AI safety intensified last week after Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher at Anthropic, announced that he was leaving the company and warned that leading AI developers were racing to build self-improving systems they might not be able to control.

Nvidia's Second-Quarter Results More Than Double Amid Record Data Center Sales

Nvidia's (NVDA) fiscal second-quarter results more than doubled from a year ago and topped Wall Street expectations amid record data center sales.The technology bellwether's revenue climbed 106% annually to $96.22 billion, exceeding the consensus on FactSet indicating $92.27 billion. Adjusted per-share earnings increased to $2.22 in the three months ended July 26 from $1.01 a year earlier. Analysts expected $2.11.Data center revenue jumped 117% to a record $89.02 billion, driven by its Blackwell Ultra graphics processing unit infrastructure, Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said. Consensus pointed to $86.30 billion in data center sales."AI has reached its inflection point. It's doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue," Chief Executive Jensen Huang said in a statement. "The AI infrastructure buildout is at full steam. Vera Rubin, now in full production, was built to power exactly this moment."Vera Rubin is Nvidia's next-generation AI supercomputing platform.Hyperscale revenue rallied 102% from the prior-year quarter, while the AI cloud, industrial and enterprise segment surged 138%."Nvidia has become both the largest direct beneficiary and one of the best real-time indicators of AI infrastructure investment," Ivan Feinseth, chief market strategist at Tigress Financial Intelligence, said in a note to clients this week.For the fiscal third quarter, the company expects consolidated revenue of $108 billion, plus or minus 2%. Wall Street expects $104.86 billion.Wedbush Analyst Matt Bryson expected Nvidia's third-quarter revenue guidance to top expectations, according to a note sent to clients ahead of Wednesday's release. Bryson reiterated his outperform rating and a $330 price target on the company."We again expect (Nvidia) to exceed its guidance and to guide October above Street, given a strong hyperscale spending backdrop that firmed further through (second-quarter) earnings, and a supply position we continue to view as the best in the industry at a point where component and material access, not end demand, is defining shipments," the analyst said.The chipmaker's stock slipped 0.3% in after-hours trading, and had gained about 12% this year through Wednesday close.Earlier in August, Nvidia said it partnered with six major financial institutions to launch compute financing platforms aimed at raising over $500 billion in third-party capital to support its AI infrastructure. Those six firms are Apollo (APO), BlackRock (BLK), Blackstone (BX), Brookfield (BAM), Goldman Sachs (GS) and KKR (KKR).Previously, Nvidia agreed to expand its partnership with South Korean conglomerate SK Group with a more than $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative.In August, chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) posted fiscal second-quarter results that beat estimates and issued third-quarter revenue guidance above Wall Street's views.Intel's (INTC) second-quarter results topped analysts' consensus in July. Semiconductor manufacturer Broadcom (AVGO) is scheduled to report fiscal third-quarter results Sept. 2.
