Fearing China, Trump rejects brakes on AI, even with risks to humanity. Understand

oglobo14 September 2026 at 08:00

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, yesterday minimized the growing alarms about the risks of artificial intelligence. He rejected the idea of reducing the pace of technology development, proposed on Saturday by some of the most important business leaders in the AI sector.

Trump demonstrated concern with China as a determining factor for his position. The fear regarding the Chinese advance in the area of artificial intelligence would have been the main reason for the American president to reject any kind of brake or slowdown in the development of the technology.

Among those involved are Trump, who holds the presidency of the United States, and important executives and business leaders in the artificial intelligence sector who had proposed, on the previous Saturday, the reduction of the pace of technology development due to the risks it represents for humanity.

Why this matters

Trump's decision signals that the United States will prioritize the technological race with China rather than slow AI development over concerns for humanity, which may influence global artificial intelligence policies and sector regulation.

AI can increase productivity in renewables by up to 25%, BCG study says

A study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reveals that artificial intelligence can increase worker productivity in the renewable energy sector by between 15% and 25% and improve energy yield by one to three percentage points. Despite the potential, the report warns that most companies struggle to scale initiatives beyond the pilot phase and convert technological ambition into real value. The study indicates that energy companies plan to triple their investment in AI in 2026, and that just 10 to 15 well-selected use cases can capture between 60% and 70% of the total value potential. In the Portuguese context, BCG highlights that the agenda gains relevance as the country strengthens its energy transition and modernizes infrastructure.
