Trump: 'Whoever Wins AI, Wins' – Opposes Limits on Artificial Intelligence

US President Donald Trump again advocated for rapid artificial intelligence development, dismissing warnings about potential risks from the technology's advancement. In a post, Trump criticized those predicting catastrophic AI consequences, comparing them to past climate change alarmists and calling such warnings a "hoax" linked to political debates over Russia and Ukraine. He emphasized US-China competition, stating "Whoever wins AI, wins," claiming America currently leads and vowing to maintain that edge. Trump opposed restrictions he said could hinder AI growth, calling it potentially greater than the Industrial Revolution or internet. While acknowledging some risks, he noted Justice Department and law enforcement could intervene if necessary, pledging continued support for AI and "superintelligence" development to preserve US technological superiority.
