SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 17:24

Donald Trump rejected calls from technology sector leaders to halt the development of Artificial Intelligence, stating that whoever wins the AI race will be the big winner. The US President downplayed calls for slowing down and insisted that any slowdown in the sector would jeopardize American leadership.

Trump pointed to China as a threat, suggesting that Beijing represents the main competition in this technological race. The President's position contrasts with warnings from various technology industry leaders, who have been advocating for a more cautious approach regarding the risks associated with the accelerated development of AI.

The article comes in a context where the technological competition between the United States and China has intensified, with both superpowers investing significant resources in advancing Artificial Intelligence.

Why this matters

This article is of interest to readers in Portugal and Europe because the American decision not to limit AI development may influence global competitiveness and future European regulations, as well as intensify the technological rivalry between the USA and China.
