The president of the United States, Donald Trump, minimized this Sunday the growing alarm regarding artificial intelligence risks and called "negative forces" those who ask for a slowdown in AI development. Trump made the statements to reporters on the sidelines of the Irish Open, defending that there is no reason to suggest that the dangers pointed out by specialists will materialize.
The Republican president stated that the United States is ahead of China in AI and is the most sophisticated country in the world in this technology. According to Trump, whoever wins in AI will win overall, and that is why the country needs to continue leading the sector.
Trump recognized that safeguards can be established for AI development, but criticized those who raise concerns about the technology's risks, saying that many of these negative forces are bringing the issue to the surface without justification.
Calls for greater caution in the sector have been growing in recent days. The chief executive of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, published on Saturday a long text on the topic, highlighting the need for a more careful approach.
