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 genuinely frightened over the fate of humanity. OpenAI's boss and Elon Musk also back putting brakes 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 issued by experts and company chiefs. They are calling for care before pushing ahead. Trump's view contrasts sharply with those concerns. He argues the race for AI superiority outweighs possible risks.
