Trump says US law enforcement can rein in AI if needed

reuters.com [$]

President Donald Trump told global leaders at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday that US law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Justice, would monitor and rein in AI companies if needed, reiterating his opposition to new regulations. Trump dismissed growing public alarm about AI dangers, calling such claims a "hoax," and said he would not stifle growth of something he compared to the Industrial Revolution. He also announced US government documents would use the term "super intelligence" going forward. The remarks follow the resignation of Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who warned that people building AI earnestly believe it could kill everyone by the end of the decade.
