Trump Downplays AI Concerns as CEOs Call for Slowing Pace
President Donald Trump downplayed the growing alarm over risks from artificial intelligence after some of the industry’s leaders called for slowing the pace of development of the technology.
“We’re leading China in AI. We’re the most sophisticated country in the world, and frankly, I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI wins,” Trump said Sunday to reporters on the sidelines of the Irish Open. “And we can put guardrails. We can do this and that. But I think you have a lot of negative forces that are bringing it up that shouldn’t be bringing it up.”
