Trump dismisses AI extinction risks as more than a dozen OpenAI, Anthropic insiders call for a slowdown
Trump said the United States must keep pace with China as AI leaders warn that unchecked development could create serious safety risks.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump dismissed warnings from AI researchers about existential threats, saying "No, I don't have any" concerns about extinction while prioritizing U.S. technological advantage over China.
- Trump's comments followed a wave of insiders at frontier labs Anthropic and OpenAI stepping up public warnings; Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon quit Tuesday over concerns that companies were "gambling with our lives."
- Anthropic Alignment Science Lead Evan Hubinger estimated greater than 10% extinction probability within a decade, Geoffrey Hinton called 10% "not unreasonable," and OpenAI researcher Jasmine Wang warned Wednesday that "it's hard to overstate how dangerous speeding towards RSI is."
- Trump reframed the debate toward competition, stating "I have concerns that if we don't win AI, we're going to be put in a very bad position" and assessing the U.S. lead over China at about a year.
- As President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping prepare to meet in Washington later this month, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will lead AI governance talks; Congress proposed the FRONTIER Act and Senator Bernie Sanders' Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, while European Commission tech chief Henna Virkkunen called Friday for global rules.
