Trump reveals he threatened to jail AI Executive over security concerns: ‘Kiss your wife goodnight’
Trump said he once warned an unidentified AI company executive to prepare for arrest over alleged security concerns.
Former US President Donald Trump disclosed in a recent interview that he had threatened to jail a senior executive from a major artificial intelligence firm due to alleged security concerns, warning the individual to "get ready to go to jail" or face arrest the following day. Speaking on CBS's 60 Minutes, Trump alleged that he was informed of someone involved in illegal activities using AI, prompting him to issue stern warnings to the executive.
According to Trump, the individual was told to return home, spend time with family, and prepare for detention. He claimed the warning resulted in the executive changing their approach. Trump also addressed the potential risks associated with AI technology, downplaying concerns about human extinction and emphasizing the importance of maintaining the United States' technological lead over China.
He suggested that any AI safety legislation should not hinder American innovation or weaken the country's competitive position against China.
