Trump dismisses AI risks while Europe and China grow uneasy

Euronews Portugal15 September 2026 at 09:33

The US President, Donald Trump, classified extinction-related fears regarding artificial intelligence as a "hoax." During his statements, Trump presented himself as the only safeguard the world needs regarding AI developments.

In contrast, Europe and China expressed concern about the technology and called for the implementation of limits for AI. These entities consider that restrictions are needed to control the rapid evolution of this technology.

The article comes in a context of global debate about the risks associated with artificial intelligence, with different positions between the United States, on one hand, and Europe and China, on the other, regarding how this technology should be regulated.

Why this matters

Readers in the region are directly affected by policy decisions on AI, an increasingly present technology in daily life. The contrast between Trump's approach and the cautious stance of Europe and China indicates possible global divergences in AI regulation that may impact trade, security, and citizens' digital rights.
