Trump on AI: "It doesn't worry me, we have to maintain the advantage over China"

"I don't worry about it." Thus President Donald Trump dismissed fears that AI could "get out of control" after OpenAI, Anthropic and some security researchers were reportedly investigating tens of thousands of incidents linked to problematic behavior of frontier AI models.

"It's just that it's a huge industry. We're ahead of China and we're building trillions of dollars worth of facilities. Why should we give it up? If there's something wrong, they have to fix it," the tycoon told Fox News, noting that it's more important for Washington to maintain its technological edge over Beijing.
