Dario Amodei, the boss of Anthropic, supports demands 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 hitting pause on what they call reckless AI development. US President Trump sees it another way. He says whoever wins AI wins, and downplays risks as things that won't happen.
The warnings come from people inside the AI field. They urge greater caution before further advances. Trump's view contrasts sharply with those concerns. He argues the race for AI superiority matters more than possible risks.
