Trump Calls AI World-Takeover Claims a 'Hoax'

US President Donald Trump dismissed warnings about artificial intelligence taking over the world as a hoax in a post on Truth Social, according to Ukrainska Pravda.

Trump's Statement

Trump wrote: "The claim that AI is going to take over the world is a hoax, just like global 'warming' when everyone was supposed to be dead already, Russia-Russia-Russia, Ukraine-Ukraine-Ukraine, or the hoax No. 1 impeachment or the hoax No. 2 impeachment."

Trump added that such claims were the work of "radical left dumbocrats" who, in his view, "never give up but rarely win."

Context

Trump's statement follows his earlier rejection of calls from technology company executives to slow down AI development. AI safety has become a growing concern among tech leaders and policymakers, with some warning of existential risks from advanced AI systems. Trump has consistently opposed efforts to regulate AI development.
