'Whoever wins AI, wins!' Trump warns 'traitors and leakers' to 'beware' and claims the 'conspiracy' against AI and data centers will only benefit China
While concern grows over AI and its potential to harm humanity, the White House claims the US has all the criminal and regulatory power it needs over the technology, and warns AI ' conspiracy theorists' to "beware".
Donald Trump, in a recent statement on his Truth Social platform, has warned against what he perceives as a "sick conspiracy" against artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers. Trump claims that the only control needed for AI is a "strong and smart (high IQ!) president," asserting that the United States, with its robust criminal and regulatory power, is already in control.
He further suggests that there is a "conspiracy" against AI and data centers, with China being the sole beneficiary. Trump asserts that the United States is currently leading in AI development and will continue to do so. He also criticizes AI companies, accusing them of pretending to be "perfect little angels" and calls out those who are allegedly "traitors, treasonists, and leakers."
Trump's claims about AI regulation and oversight are disputed, as there is currently no federal-level regulation in place. The focus on data center development is seen as conflated with the broader concerns of AI alignment and potential harm.
