Trump criticizes 'negative forces' that want to slow down AI

oglobo13 September 2026 at 15:32

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, dismissed this Sunday (13) as "negative forces" those who call for a slowdown in the development of artificial intelligence (AI). During his visit to Ireland, Trump told reporters that "there are many negative forces raising this issue when they shouldn't, and they are suggesting things that won't happen."

Calls for greater caution in the AI sector have been growing in recent days. On the previous Saturday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said the company would adopt additional safety measures, including independent evaluations carried out by third parties.

Amodei also called for the technology sector as a whole to slow down the pace of AI development. Anthropic's position, creator of the virtual assistant Claude, reflects a trend among major companies in the sector that have been warning about growing risks associated with the technology.

Why this matters

Trump's position could influence AI policies in the US, affecting American companies, global competitors like China, and technology users worldwide. The text follows a previous article about catastrophic predictions about AI and America's advantage over China, showing the tension between technological security and geopolitical leadership.
