Donald Trump has called AI safety warnings a \u201choax\u201d in response to claims the technology has a greater than 10% chance of killing all humans.<\/p>\n
Last week, an Anthropic safety researcher claimed there is a greater than 10% chance that AI \u201ccould kill all humans\u201d within the next decade, admitting there is no coordinated plan to prevent it from happening.<\/p>\n
Since then, the bosses of the major AI tech companies have called for a global slowdown in AI development, and requested the U.S. government impose guardrails \u2014 such as a kill switch that can be checked by a third party \u2014 on AI. But in a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump made his position clear.<\/p>\n
Trump said there was a \u201cSICK conspiracy\u201d underway to undermine AI development, and insisted he alone would prevent AI from going rogue. He compared AI safety concerns to what he called the \u201cGlobal Warming Scam,\u201d and called for an acceleration in data center development.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people that say AI is going to destroy the World, and that Data Centers are bad for your neighborhood, are the same people that said, just a short time ago, that the World would be extinguished by \u2018Climate Change,\u2019\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cThat HOAX never worked out for them, and now they\u2019re on to the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n
The U.S. president called himself “the Hoax Buster,\u201d saying the only “guardrails” needed for AI was a “strong and smart” president.<\/p>\n
