President Donald Trump played down growing alarm about artificial-intelligence risks after some industry leaders urged a slower pace of technological development.

Donald Trump has dismissed warnings about artificial intelligence, saying “negative forces” are raising fears about events that will not happen. The comments follow dire predictions from a former Anthropic researcher and calls by industry leaders to slow development. Trump said the US is ahead of China in AI and wants to keep that lead, while critics argue any slowdown should be coordinated internationally.

Andy Miah, Chair in Science Communication and Future Media at the University of Salford, said AI presents real challenges that require closer coordination between companies and governments, but poses no existential threat to humanity. He added that clearer data and concrete figures would help the public understand the risks.

AI leaders warn that the technology is advancing faster than the ability to control it, while Donald Trump has called some concerns exaggerated. AI philosophy professor Raphaël Millière says a real-world security incident this summer shows the risks are no longer hypothetical, but not that AI will kill everyone. He says companies and governments should coordinate to manage the growing safety risks.

AI is helping with writing, education, information gathering and programming, with supporters pointing to productivity gains and new types of work. But experts warn that rapid development could bring job losses, misinformation, heavy infrastructure demands and particular difficulties for early-career workers. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has urged companies to slow the pace of improving AI model capabilities.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has urged the industry to slow AI development, with Sam Altman and Elon Musk agreeing. The article says the proposal faces major obstacles, including competition with China, weak trust in companies and uncertainty over enforcement. It also questions whether a slowdown could damage economic prospects as warnings about humanity’s future intensify.
