The sector wide dip comes amid rising tensions of AI security and authorities asking for a slowdown in AI expansion. Let’s discuss what could happen next.
Why Are Micron, AMD, Nvidia Falling Due To an AI Slowdown Scare?
The latest dip in the tech stock sector could be due to many experts asking for a slowdown in AI development. Among the most popular voices is Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. Amodei recently posted an essay where he highlighted the seriousness about the risk of developing AI too quickly. In fact Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk, both agreed with Amodei’s opinion.
There has been a lot of fears around AI over the last few months. Several AI researchers have warned that AI could even destroy humanity by the end of this decade if protective measures are not implemented. Kamala Harris also joined the bandwagon of people speaking up against AI. She has called for an urgent slowdown, warning AI could “completely escape human control.”

While the concerns about AI are real, a slowdown may not happen. President Trump is against AI slowdown has compared advocates for AI safety warnings to the climate change “hoax.” In fact Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has reportedly told President Trump that he would not slow down AI development.
Moreover, there is a chance that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by 25 basis points after the September FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting. A rate hike could lead to further price corrections for Micron (MU), AMD, Nvidia (NVDA), etc.
