AI Race vs Safety Debate Heats Up | Portland Maine News

Former President Trump slammed AI safety advocates like Dario Amodei, calling him a “perfect little angel” for pushing to slow down AI development — a move Amodei supports as “Pacing the Frontier,” giving researchers extra time to build safety into increasingly powerful models. Amodei warns that fast-moving AI could spawn self-improving systems beyond human control, citing recent cyberattacks by rogue AI agents. The alarm is growing: Anthropic’s own safety researcher Jacob Coxon quit, accusing companies of gambling with lives, and over 1,300 AI workers recently urged the U.S. government to intervene — sparking a critical debate about speed versus safety in the race to build superintelligence.
