Shares in major Asian AI and semiconductor companies fell on September 14 after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman supported slowing frontier-model development. Early trading losses included SoftBank down 13.2%, Kioxia 9.8%, SK hynix 5.3%, Samsung Electronics 3.7% and TSMC 1.2%, according to market reports. At 11:27 KST, South Korea's KOSPI was 2.19% lower at 6,758.64. Analysts also cited Middle East uncertainty, while Amodei proposed embedded evaluators and Altman said safety standards were not ready for much faster capability growth.
