The President of the United States, Donald Trump, was asked by journalists about the possibility of Artificial Intelligence leading to human extinction, a topic raised by a researcher from Anthropic. Trump responded that he has "no concerns" about this issue.
The American head of state preferred instead to emphasize that the United States is leading in the area of Artificial Intelligence, highlighting his position on the technological race between countries.
The reference to a researcher from Anthropic indicates that concern about the existential risks of AI has been discussed by experts in the technology sector.
Trump's position comes in the broader context of technological competition between the United States and China, where the American leader chooses to highlight American leadership rather than focus on the potential dangers of the technology.
