Trump criticizes those who want to slow down the development of AI after the alarm from US Big Tech

Donald Trump has criticized those who want to slow down the development of AI, after the alarm raised by American industry giants. “I believe there are many negative forces that raise the issue without reason, bringing up scenarios that will not happen,” the president said.

Trump's words

''We are at the forefront of artificial intelligence compared to China, we are the most advanced country in the world. And frankly, I want it to stay that way, because whoever wins in the field of AI, wins over everyone," Trump declared in response to a question from journalists. The American president dismissed calls for regulation or slowing down the development of AI over fears that it could get out of control. "We can introduce safeguards, we can do this and that, but I think there are a lot of negative forces raising the issue, bringing up things that won't happen," the tycoon observed.

The Big Tech alarm

From OpenAI to Anthropic, in recent days several tech giants had in fact expressed their fears about the uncontrolled development of artificial intelligence. Greater caution is needed, was the message shared: the idea is that the development of AI must be slowed down to prevent it from escaping human control. The latest appeal was launched in recent hours by Dario Amodei, head of Anthropic, who recognized the fact that the technology could be used improperly for "cyber attacks, bioterrorism and serious economic disruptions".
