What Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk have said about AI risks, stoking ‘doom’ fears

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Saturday called for a slowdown in the pace of advanced AI development, winning rare backing from SpaceXAI’s Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and sparking a debate over AI “doomerism”.

President Donald Trump dismissed the warnings about AI’s potential risks as exaggerated, as the U.S. races to maintain its lead against China for technological leadership, while Anthropic bumped AI risk assessment ‌to “low” from “very ⁠low” last month.
