Dario Amodei, the boss of Anthropic, supports demands for a slowdown in AI development. A former Anthropic researcher told the BBC that AI staff feel real fear over the fate of humanity. OpenAI's boss and Elon Musk are supporting putting brakes on what they call reckless AI development. US President Trump sees it another way. He says whoever wins AI wins, and downplays risks as things that are unlikely.
The warnings are issued by industry leaders and researchers. They want more caution before pushing ahead. Trump's view stands in stark opposition to that outlook. He argues the race for AI superiority outweighs possible risks.
