Trump says will not tolerate attempts to slow AI growth
The US president finds himself out of step with growing public scepticism over AI and dire safety warnings from AI industry leaders.
US President Donald Trump dismissed concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) as a hoax on Saturday. He vowed to not allow any attempts to slow AI growth and announced the creation of a new government AI Force. Trump claimed that liberals aim to decimate AI, but he pledged to protect and promote the industry. He expressed frustration with growing public skepticism over AI and warnings from industry leaders about its potential dangers.
Despite polls showing Americans' opposition to building data centers in their communities, Trump insisted that the U.S. must stay competitive with China and emphasized that a strong and intelligent president was necessary to safeguard AI development. Trump asked the public to vote on three alternative names for AI: superior intelligence, extreme intelligence, and supreme intelligence.
