Trump Announces New 'AI Force', Maintains Pro-AI Stance Despite Warnings From Tech And Political Leaders.
A Politico poll found widespread concern as tech leaders and political figures urged slower AI development and stronger safeguards.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced creation of an 'AI Force' with an upcoming 'Czar,' dismissing recent concerns about AI as a 'hoax' on Monday and claiming the only 'guardrails' needed is a 'STRONG AND SMART PRESIDENT.'
Earlier, CEO Amodei warned that unmoderated AI agents could become capable of 'taking over the entire internet' within 6-12 months, prompting Elon Musk and Sam Altman, CEOs of rival tech companies, to endorse calls for moderation.
A Politico poll conducted between Sunday and Tuesday found 63% of Americans believe AI poses a risk of destroying humanity, while Senator Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon spoke at a Washington conference emphasizing potential dangers.
Beijing's top spy chief Chen Yixin wrote on Sunday that generative AI technology was being used to 'launch public opinion wars and cognitive warfare against China,' though China has rebuffed U.S. regulation calls as 'fearmongering.'
Trump continued his stance by alleging a 'SICK conspiracy' against AI and Data Centers that benefits only China, asserting 'WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS!' and that the U.S. currently has the necessary leadership.
Leading heads of AI laboratories want to slow down the pace because they fear a loss of control. Donald Trump's message, on the other hand, is: full force ahead!
