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.
Donald Trump criticized AI critics this Sunday, accusing them of being negative forces pushing for slower development of the technology. The US president stated that the critics were raising concerns about issues that would not occur. Trump made these remarks during a visit to Ireland, following recent exits by AI researchers who warned of potential dangers.
Jacob Coxon recently left OpenAI and Anthropic, accusing the companies of "gambling with our lives" in their pursuit of self-improving models. Coxon's concerns prompted Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to call for a slowdown in AI development, as superintelligent computer systems pose significant risks. OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk, founder of xAI, agreed with Amodei's assessment, leading to calls for better oversight. Altman added that OpenAI would not go public this year due to safety concerns.
