Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, is backing efforts for a slowdown in AI development. A former Anthropic researcher told the BBC that AI staff are deeply worried about what lies ahead. OpenAI's boss and Elon Musk join in backing slowing down what they call reckless AI development. US President Trump has a different stance. He says whoever wins AI wins, and downplays risks as things that are unlikely.
The warnings are issued by experts and company chiefs. They are calling for care before further advances. Trump's view is very different from these warnings. He argues the race for AI superiority matters more than potential dangers.
