How each side framed it · in their own words

Left

AI technology is both useful and dangerous

“For many, the technology is simultaneously underwhelming in daily use and terrifying in its trajectory.”

Axios

AI race poses existential risks

AI development needs regulation

“Coxon mentioned that a number of technology leaders have publicly expressed the need for a slow-down agreement, but people are not yet taking them seriously.”

Fox News

“The issue for OpenAI, Anthropic and other tech giants is that no one seems to have cracked the so-called alignment problem.”

BBC — Business
