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 are genuinely frightened over the fate of humanity. OpenAI's boss and Elon Musk also back hitting pause on what they call reckless AI development. US President Trump takes a different line. He says whoever wins AI wins, and dismisses threats as things to be ignored.
The warnings are issued by industry leaders and researchers. They urge greater caution before further advances. Trump's view stands in stark opposition to these warnings. He argues the race for AI superiority outweighs possible risks.
