Tech stocks in Asia and Europe fall

after the bosses of artificial intelligence (AI) companies called for a slow down in the pace of its development

The head of AI company Anthropic, Dario Amodei, said on Saturday the pace of development should be slowed

"to reduce the risk that something goes seriously wrong"

Grok founder Elon Musk said Amodoei was "right", while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said

standards are "not at a place" to push AI capabilities much further

It comes after Jacob Coxon, a researcher who quit Anthropic, told the BBC staff developing AI systems were "genuinely frightened" for the future of humanity

Could AI threaten humanity?

Can we slow it down?

And are there laws in place to protect against it?

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has welcomed the recent discussion of risks AI technology could pose to humanity, according to his spokesperson.

"It's a good thing that the companies developing the most advanced AI systems are now talking openly about the risks as well as the opportunities," the spokesperson says.

They say that policy had to be "grounded in evidence rather than speculation".

"But we shouldn't assume that the existing framework will always be sufficient as AI capabilities develop, and any future measures will be evidence-based and focused on the risks we need to address," the spokesperson adds.
