Trump downplays AI risks as 'things that won't happen'
US President Donald Trump dismissed concerns about artificial intelligence risks, dismissing reports as negative forces bringing up events that would not occur. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei expressed alarm over the rapid advancement of AI, warning that within six to 12 months, AI could control a swarm capable of taking over the entire internet.
Amodei proposed a three-step plan for responsible AI development, including increased industry coordination and global government involvement. Industry leaders, including Elon Musk and Sam Altman, agreed with Amodei's approach. During a trip to Ireland, Trump downplayed the risks, expressing a desire to maintain US dominance in AI development.
In response to Amodei's essay, Musk and Altman echoed his sentiment, calling for a more measured pace in AI development.
