'Wait and see': PM unfazed by Trump call to let AI rip

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met with US President Donald Trump at a gala dinner on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. The two leaders had a warm conversation, and Albanese posted a selfie with Trump on social media. Trump expressed support for accelerating AI development, rejecting calls to rein in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and even calling it superintelligence.

Albanese, however, believes a coalition of nations can work together to put greater human control on the technology. In his UN address, Trump renamed AI as superintelligence and stated that it has the potential to surpass the Industrial Revolution or the internet. Albanese and other nations have urged greater oversight for AI, warning that the pace of AI's development could outpace the ability to manage associated risks.
