Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called for a slowdown in AI capability development, warning of rogue AI agents taking over the internet within 6-12 months. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk have expressed agreement with Amodei's sentiment. Meanwhile, President Trump has publicly disagreed, stating 'Whoever wins AI wins' and calling those raising alarms 'negative forces'.
