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 are genuinely frightened about what lies ahead. OpenAI's boss and Elon Musk also back hitting pause on what they call reckless AI development. US President Trump has a different stance. He says whoever wins AI wins, and dismisses threats as things that are unlikely.
The warnings are coming from experts and company chiefs. They urge greater caution before pushing ahead. Trump's view contrasts sharply with these warnings. He argues the race for AI superiority is more important than any downsides.
