Trump Says He Has No Concerns About AI Extinction and Puts the US Lead Over China at About a Year
Bloomberg·medium signal
Leaving Dallas on September 11, Trump answered a question about AI causing human extinction with "No, I don't have any." He said his concern is losing the AI race, and that the US leads China by "a pretty good period, I would say a year." The remarks came the same day OpenAI floated a coordinated slowdown, which shows the White House and the labs are now framing risk in opposite ways.
