In a post on his Truth Social account, Donald Trump declared that concerns over artificial intelligence (AI) were a hoax concocted by conspiracy theorists. Trump argued that fears surrounding AI were all a hoax dreamed up by conspiracy theorists. The tech giants behind major AI companies, including Anthropic, had previously called for a coordinated global slowdown in the industry to mitigate the risks posed by AI.
However, Trump dismissed their concerns, stating that a president with a very high IQ, someone like him, could out-think the combined power of the world's supercomputers. He suggested that an AI network has a default off switch that kneels before the US president, implying that he could rewire the world with the power of his mind.
