Dario Amodei, the leader of Anthropic, has joined calls for a slowdown in AI development. A former Anthropic researcher told the BBC that AI staff are genuinely frightened about what lies ahead. OpenAI's boss and Elon Musk are supporting slowing down 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 won't happen.
The warnings are coming from industry leaders and researchers. They urge greater caution before further advances. Trump's view contrasts sharply with these warnings. He argues the race for AI superiority is more important than any downsides.
