Dario Amodei, the boss of Anthropic, supports demands for a slowdown in AI development. A former Anthropic researcher told the BBC that AI staff feel real fear about what lies ahead. OpenAI's boss and Elon Musk also back putting brakes on what they call reckless AI development. US President Trump sees it another way. He says whoever wins AI wins, and brushes off dangers as things that are unlikely.
The warnings are issued by people inside the AI field. They are calling for care prior to the next steps. Trump's view is very different from that outlook. He argues the race for AI superiority matters more than possible risks.
