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 about what lies ahead. OpenAI's boss and Elon Musk also back putting brakes on what they call reckless AI development. US President Trump takes a different line. He says whoever wins AI wins, and dismisses threats as things that are unlikely.
The warnings are issued by industry leaders and researchers. They urge greater caution prior to the next steps. Trump's view contrasts sharply with that outlook. He argues the race for AI superiority outweighs possible risks.
