Trump says US leads China in AI, won't slow its growth

President Donald Trump said Monday he will not slow the development of artificial intelligence, asserting the United States leads China and the world in the technology. He pledged to maintain that position, calling AI bigger than the Industrial Revolution or the internet. Trump wrote on Truth Social that he will only foster AI, relying on the Justice Department and law enforcement to set limits if necessary. He dismissed warnings about AI dangers, accusing those who predicted climate catastrophe of now falsely claiming robots will attack humanity. AI is expected to be a topic in Trump's meeting this week with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Democratic proposals for AI legislation have stalled in the House due to an early recess, delaying action until after November's midterm elections.
