Trump at UN rejects global AI rules, calls them 'globalist scheme'

President Donald Trump rejected international AI regulation at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, calling such efforts a "globalist scheme" and announcing the US will use the term "super intelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence." Trump dismissed safety advocates' warnings, comparing them to climate change predictions, while over 20 countries urged binding safety measures. UN chief Antonio Guterres called for US-China dialogue on AI risks, similar to Cold War-era engagement between superpowers. China and the US are discussing a communication channel for AI concerns ahead of a Thursday summit between Trump and President Xi Jinping. Trump has vowed not to slow the AI industry, a major US economic driver.
