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 over the fate of humanity. 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 people inside the AI field. They urge greater caution prior to the next steps. Trump's view contrasts sharply with those concerns. He argues the race for AI superiority outweighs possible risks.
