Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, supports demands for a slowdown in AI development. A former Anthropic researcher told the BBC that AI staff feel real fear for humanity's future. OpenAI's boss and Elon Musk are supporting 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 to be ignored.
The warnings are coming from people inside the AI field. They want more caution prior to the next steps. Trump's view stands in stark opposition to these warnings. He argues the race for AI superiority outweighs potential dangers.
