Dario Amodei, the boss of Anthropic, has joined calls 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 also back slowing down what they call reckless AI development. US President Trump sees it another way. 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 are calling for care before pushing ahead. Trump's view stands in stark opposition to these warnings. He argues the race for AI superiority matters more than any downsides.
