Trump Calls AI Risks a 'Hoax,'
Trump said AI fears are a hoax and argued he alone can guard against rogue systems as tech leaders press for more oversight.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump dismissed concerns about artificial intelligence as a "SICK conspiracy" and a "HOAX," asserting that his presence in the Oval Office is the only necessary guardrail against rogue technology.
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a 3,800-word essay Saturday calling for slower AI development, warning that without guardrails, AI could take over the internet within 6 to 12 months. Trump's stance follows his revocation of Biden administration oversight orders last year.
- A University of Massachusetts Amhurst poll released Monday found 49 per cent of Americans strongly oppose building local Data Centers, while 57 per cent disapprove of Trump's handling of artificial intelligence.
- Emanuel, the former Chicago mayor, criticized the lack of guardrails Saturday, stating the administration is "driving down a dark, winding road on wet pavement with the headlights off." AI has emerged as a political liability ahead of November's midterm elections.
- Trump asserts that only China benefits from AI restrictions, claiming Data Centers are vital for economic growth. He likened current anxieties to past "hoaxes," maintaining that his "STRONG AND SMART" leadership is the only necessary control.
