Trump's AI adviser pushes back on tech leaders' warnings and calls for AI regulation
President Trump's AI adviser David Sacks dismissed warnings and calls for more AI regulation in an exclusive interview with CBS News' Jo Ling Kent. "First and foremost, it is on them to make their products safe," Sacks said, referring to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and other AI leaders.
United States President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of artificial intelligence (AI) doomsday warnings on Monday, calling them a "hoax" and claiming he was a "hoax buster." Trump used his Truth Social platform to argue that the concept of AI taking over the world is "wilder" than the "global warming scam." He said, "I am the Hoax Buster, and I'm right now breaking another Hoax — That AI is going to take over, consume, and destroy the World, and that Robots will be marching into our Cities, and getting rid of us all!"
Trump emphasized that these claims are made by people who don't want the United States to grow and are working for entities that don't have the best interests of the country in mind. He further claimed that China would "not stand in the way" of AI development and that Google is setting up a plant in Finland due to US regulatory difficulties.
Trump maintained that AI and data centers would be the greatest economic development engine in history, bigger than the oil, gold, diamond, or even the internet industries.
