Dario Amodei, the leader of Anthropic, is backing efforts 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 join in backing putting brakes on what they call reckless AI development. US President Trump has a different stance. He says whoever wins AI wins, and brushes off dangers as things to be ignored.
The warnings are coming from 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 matters more than any downsides.
