US President Donald Trump is seeking to stem the emergence of further\nregulations on artificial intelligence (AI). The stance comes amid a\nmounting wave of public concern over the potential dangers of the\ntechnology.<\/p>\n
Bosses of the technology giants, including Dario Amodei (Anthropic),\nSam Altman (OpenAI) and Elon Musk (xAI), are united in believing that\nthe advancement of frontier AI needs to be reined in to prioritise\npublic safety.<\/p>\n
Previously, Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic AI researcher, issued an\neven more alarming warning. According to him, the unstoppable pace of AI\nrisks bringing humanity face to face with extinction in the coming\ndecade.<\/p>\n
None of this, however, has softened Trump\u2019s position. He remains\nfirmly of the view that AI development must continue. Indeed, Trump\nbluntly described fears that AI would take over the world and wipe out\nhumanity as fake news, or a hoax.<\/p>\n
\u201cAI taking over the world, destroying humanity and all the other bad\nthings is a hoax,\u201d Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social social\nmedia account, quoted by Politico on Tuesday (15\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n
Earlier, he had also suggested that his administration had already\ncurbed excessive rules surrounding AI. According to Trump, the only\n\u2018control\u2019 AI needs is a strong and intelligent president \u2014 referring to\nhimself.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only control or safeguard needed for AI is a strong and\nintelligent president (with a high IQ!), and America has one, more than\nenough,\u201d Trump continued in an earlier post.<\/p>\n
Not only that, Trump dragged in the United States\u2019 old rival, China.\nHe believes Beijing actually benefits from the \u2018evil conspiracy\u2019\nnarrative surrounding AI and data centres.<\/p>\n
Trump stressed that his main priority at present is to ensure that\nChina does not emerge as the winner in mastering the new technology \u2014\nwhich is believed to be capable of reshaping the structure of civil\nsociety.<\/p>\n
On the same occasion, Trump fired a pointed jab at Anthropic CEO\nDario Amodei, saying he was pretending to be a \u2018perfect little angel\u2019.\nRelations between the two have indeed grown heated, evidenced by the US\ngovernment\u2019s policy banning all federal agencies from using Anthropic\nproducts.<\/p>\n
Previously, Amodei had called on AI companies to slow the pace of\ntheir models\u2019 capability development amid deepening global concerns.\nThat call has recently been endorsed by a number of other technology\nbosses, such as xAI CEO Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/disaster-before-our-eyes-trump-gives-unexpected-comments-on-ai-1789484031", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
