President Donald Trump downplayed growing alarm over the risks of artificial intelligence, after some industry leaders called for slowing the pace of development of the technology.
"We are ahead of China in artificial intelligence. We are the most advanced country in the world and, honestly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins the artificial intelligence race, wins," Trump told reporters this Sunday when asked if the AI sector should slow down or be more regulated.
"We could establish control measures. We could do this or that. But I think there are a lot of very negative forces that are raising issues that should not be brought up, and they are talking about things that are not going to happen," Trump said.
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, published a lengthy blog post on Saturday urging the industry to slow down and noting that this initiative requires coordination both within the industry and globally. Sam Altman, head of OpenAI, and Elon Musk, who runs xAI Corp., were quick to endorse Amodei's message.
