How an 'AI freeze' could make big AI companies bigger and hurt smaller firms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Silicon Valley executives call for a slowdown in the development of artificial intelligence, a growing chorus of critics has coalesced around a counterargument: halting the advance of AI will consolidate the power of leading tech companies and kneecap their upstart rivals.
