Dario Amodei, the boss of Anthropic, supports demands for a slowdown in AI development. A former Anthropic researcher told the BBC that AI staff are deeply worried over the fate of humanity. OpenAI's boss and Elon Musk join in backing hitting pause on what they call reckless AI development. US President Trump takes a different line. He says whoever wins AI wins, and downplays risks as things that won't happen.
The warnings are coming from experts and company chiefs. They urge greater caution before pushing ahead. Trump's view stands in stark opposition to those concerns. He argues the race for AI superiority matters more than possible risks.
