Trump will not stop AI growth now with US “front” China

“ Anow, let's get ahead of China and the rest of the world, and I'll hold that position! I will not stop the growth of something that will be bigger than the Industrial Revolution or that the Internet itself”, Trump wrote on his social network, Truth Social.

Artificial intelligence will be precisely one of the themes expected to be addressed at this week's meeting in Washington between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in the context of the strategic rivalry between the two powers.

In full debate about the risks of Artificial Intelligence to humanity, and despite warnings from directors of technology companies, Trump's position remains firm.

“ We will be prudent — for this we have the Department of Justice and other bodies responsible for enforcing the law, which will set limits, if necessary — but I will only encourage the AI”, he said.

Trump accused the public of deceiving those who alert to the dangers: “The same people who said ‘we will all be dead in 12 years due to global warming’ are the ones who now say that the AI will kill us, that the robots will attack us and that it’s all a disaster.”.

For the US head of state, “whoever wins the AI race wins!” and for this reason rejects the requests for regulation to stop the development of Artificial Intelligence.

The Democratic proposal for legislation on AI was paralyzed due to the anticipation of the election break in the House of Representatives, a measure driven by the president of the lower House of Congress, Republican Mike Johnson — and will have to wait for the next session, which will only take place after the mid-term elections on November 3.
