Trump vows to speed AI despite extinction warnings

US President Donald Trump reaffirmed his commitment to accelerating artificial intelligence development despite industry warnings that AI could destroy humanity. He stated he will encourage AI and superintelligence. In a Truth Social post on September 21, Trump said the Department of Justice and law enforcement exist to control the situation if necessary. He dismissed AI doomsday predictions as a "bigger fraud" than climate change, arguing the winner of the AI race will prevail. Trump claimed the US is ahead of China and other nations, vowing to maintain that lead. He said he will not suppress growth of something potentially larger than the Industrial Revolution or the internet. He has emphasized rapid AI development nearly daily since September 13.
