  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has downplayed concerns about artificial intelligence, claiming America already has safeguards in place. He described growing concerns about AI as a \"sick conspiracy\" and said he was the only guardrail needed.\n\nThe discussion around AI adoption has highlighted the importance of governance, data, and accuracy. According to Hari Gopalkrishnan, chief technology and information officer at Bank of America, the company evaluates AI implementations across 16 risk dimensions, including privacy, bias, workforce implications, and intellectual property.\n\nGopalkrishnan also noted that companies should start with the client need, rather than rushing to implement AI, and that simpler technology may sometimes yield a more reliable return. This was reported by Fortune.",
