  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has dismissed concerns about artificial intelligence, calling them a \"hoax\". He made these comments on his Truth Social network, comparing AI fears to warnings about climate change and investigations into his 2016 campaign's links to Russia.\n\nHouse Speaker Mike Johnson has responded to Trump's comments, stating that a moratorium on AI development would put the US at a competitive disadvantage to China. According to the Economic Times Tech, Johnson also suggested that AI companies can regulate themselves.\n\nTrump's comments were made amid growing international concern about AI, with some industry leaders, including Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and SpaceX's Elon Musk, calling for AI companies to slow down.",
