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 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 has a different stance. He says whoever wins AI wins, and brushes off dangers as things that are unlikely.
The warnings are coming from industry leaders and researchers. They are calling for care before pushing ahead. Trump's view is very different from that outlook. He argues the race for AI superiority is more important than possible risks.
