AI-generated summary
Recently, there have been cases where researchers at Antropic and Google resigned from their companies while warning of the dangers of AI. Afterwards, discussions arose among AI industry leaders about controlling development speed.
On the 14th (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly expressed his dislike for the rapidly emerging 'speed control theory' in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, dismissing it as a conspiracy theory.
President Trump wrote on the social media platform TruthSocial on this day, “There is a disgusting conspiracy targeting AI and data centers, and the only country that will be happy about it is China.”
“Whoever wins in AI will win,” he said. “We are ahead of China and all other countries, and we will continue to do so. Conspiracy theorists, traitors, traitors, and leakers, beware.”
After Antropic and Google researchers recently resigned, suggesting a path that AI could escape human control and rapidly lead to the end of humanity, AI industry leaders, including Antropic CEO Dario Amodei, are arguing that the pace of AI development must be adjusted.
In response to this, President Trump dismissed those who emphasize this speed control theory as 'negative forces' in a Q&A with reporters during his visit to Ireland the previous day and announced that he would maintain the current AI competition system.
President Trump's post on this day is interpreted as expressing stronger antipathy toward the speed control theory, calling it a "disgusting conspiracy."
Regarding the government-level regulation of AI demanded by speed control advocates, President Trump argued that “the only control or safety device needed for AI is a strong and smart (high IQ) president, and the United States has a tremendous number of such presidents.”
He also accused Amodei Antropic CEO of "pretending to be a perfect little angel."
President Trump also emphasized that the U.S. administration has prevented AI industry figures like Amodei CEO "from doing bad things or potentially bad things, and will continue to do so," adding, "We already have tremendous criminal and regulatory authority over these companies."
