Trump dismisses concerns over AI dangers
The US president said calls to slow down AI development are a "sick conspiracy," claiming that they only serve China. Market leaders have warned of the dangers of the technology's development pace.
In a recent statement, President Donald Trump dismissed concerns surrounding the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, branding it as a "sick conspiracy." Despite calls from industry leaders such as Dario Amodei of Anthropic and Sam Altman of OpenAI for greater government oversight on AI, Trump maintains that the United States possesses the necessary strength and intelligence to manage AI effectively.
He asserted on his Truth Social account that his administration has already thwarted any potentially harmful applications of Anthropic's technology. Furthermore, Trump criticized the Pentagon for temporarily banning one of Anthropic's advanced models due to security concerns, labeling it a "sick conspiracy" against AI and data centers, with China being the sole beneficiary of such actions.
Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, warned of the potential for AI-led agents to control the entire internet within six to twelve months, highlighting the need for controlled global AI development. In response to these concerns, Microsoft published a code of conduct to ensure human control over AI systems. This development led to a decline in AI-related stocks worldwide, affecting companies like Nvidia and Elon Musk's SpaceX.
