Tan's comments came in direct response to concerns linked to Anthropic, the AI safety-focused startup, which has reportedly advocated for a more measured pace of AI development. Such calls have prompted questions about whether major chipmakers and semiconductor suppliers could face headwinds if the industry pulls back on aggressive buildouts.
