Trump rejects UN AI regulations, calls technology 'superintelligence'

President Donald Trump rejected international efforts to impose new regulations on artificial intelligence during his Tuesday address to the UN General Assembly, stating the US will continue advancing AI development and will now refer to the technology as "superintelligence" in government documents. Trump dismissed concerns about AI risks by comparing them to climate change warnings, which he has repeatedly called a hoax, and said the US "completely rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control artificial intelligence." He also framed AI leadership as crucial for maintaining a competitive edge over China. The president's stance contrasts with calls from AI industry leaders like OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei for stronger safety measures, while UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged greater global oversight of AI risks in his own address.
