- Within Salesforce, 7,000 workers are using tools integrated with Claude, while Agentforce utilizes a synthetic dataset drawn from 27 years of CRM deployments.

- Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang told the audience that "market forces" will regulate AI safety, contrasting with Amodei's recent call to slow development to allow safety measures to catch up.
