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 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 sees it another way. He says whoever wins AI wins, and downplays risks as things that won't happen.

The warnings are coming from experts and company chiefs. They are calling for care before pushing ahead. Trump's view stands in stark opposition to that outlook. He argues the race for AI superiority matters more than potential dangers.
