  "account": "US President Donald Trump dismissed warnings about artificial intelligence (AI) wiping out humanity, calling the fears a \"hoax\" and rejecting calls from world leaders to regulate the rapidly advancing technology. In six posts on social media platform Truth Social, Trump positioned himself as the \"Hoax Buster\" and rejected mounting alarm from tech executives, the United Nations, and China. Trump likened AI concerns to warnings about climate change and the Russia investigations that plagued his first term, insisting that the only guardrail for AI is a \"strong and smart\" (high IQ) president.",
  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has dismissed AI extinction fears as a \"hoax,\" casting himself as the only safeguard the world needs, as Europe and China both call for guardrails on the fast-moving technology.",
