Why It Matters
Recently, in the AI industry, there have been concerns that AI could lead to the end of humanity, and the need for speed control and regulation has been raised.
Regarding the 'speed control theory' of artificial intelligence (AI), U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 13th (local time), "To be honest, I want to maintain this method because whoever wins AI (competition) wins."
President Trump, who is visiting Ireland, met with reporters at his own Doonburg golf course on this day and responded to the question, 'Should the AI industry adjust its pace or impose more regulations?', saying, "We are ahead of China in AI. We are the most technologically advanced country in the world."
President Trump also said, "We can put safeguards in place. We can do this and that," but also pointed out, "There are too many negative forces that, in my opinion, are highlighting things that should not be highlighted. They are highlighting things that will not happen."
After researchers at Antropic and Google recently resigned, warning that AI could escape human control and lead to the end of humanity, heads of the AI industry, including Antropic CEO Dario Amodei, are advocating the 'AI speed control theory.'
President Trump's remarks today are interpreted as meaning that he will maintain the United States' current AI policy of accelerating AI development despite these warning messages.
President Trump emphasized, “Whoever wins in AI is the winner. This is an expression I made up, and it is true.”
