Dario Amodei, the boss of Anthropic, is backing efforts for a slowdown in AI development. A former Anthropic researcher told the BBC that AI staff are genuinely frightened for humanity's future. 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 brushes off dangers as things that are unlikely.

The warnings come from industry leaders and researchers. They are calling for care before further advances. Trump's view is very different from these warnings. He argues the race for AI superiority outweighs possible risks.
