Trump slams AI critics urging caution
The comments came days after AI researcher Jacob Coxon quit the industry, accusing former employers OpenAI and Anthropic of “gambling with our lives” to develop self-improving models.
On Sunday, Donald Trump criticized critics of artificial intelligence (AI) who have warned firms to slow down the development of the powerful technology, accusing them of being negative forces. Trump told reporters during a visit to Ireland that he believes there are a lot of negative forces pushing the issue and raising things that would not happen.
The comments followed the departure of AI researcher Jacob Coxon, who accused his former employers OpenAI and Anthropic of gambling with lives in the race to develop models capable of self-improvement. Coxon wrote on X that AI could kill us all by the end of the decade. In response, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for firms to slow down their rapid development of AI, as concerns over the risks of superintelligent computer systems grew.
OpenAI boss Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who owns xAI, agreed with Amodei's assessment, leading to pressure for improved oversight. Altman also stated that his company would not go public this year due to safety concerns.
