Trump calls warnings of AI "taking over the world" a hoax
US President Donald Trump dismissed claims that artificial intelligence is about to take over the world, calling them a fabrication. He compared the claims to other issues he considers similarly overstated.
US President Donald Trump has rejected claims that artificial intelligence is on the verge of taking over the world, describing such warnings as a hoax in a post on Truth Social.
In his post, Trump compared the AI takeover claims to several other topics he considers equally baseless, including global warming and recurring narratives involving Russia and Ukraine in political discourse. He also referenced the two impeachment proceedings brought against him, calling them the first and second impeachment "hoaxes."
Blaming the "radical left"
According to Trump, all of these claims stem from the actions of what he called "radical left lunatics," who he said never give up but rarely succeed.
Background
The statement follows Trump's earlier rejection of calls from technology company leaders to slow down the development of artificial intelligence. He has repeatedly expressed support for continuing rapid AI progress rather than restricting it.
