Trump responds to rising AI safety concerns, insists tech will be 'more good than bad' - Fox Business

President Donald Trump doubled down on the importance of developing artificial intelligence despite the potential harms on Sunday. The statement comes just days after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a blanket slowdown in AI development in order to ensure safety. Trump on Sunday appeared to push back on that sentiment. "I'm not downplaying, but it's, you know, it's going to be more good than bad, but by a lot," Trump told reporters when speaking of AI development. ANTHROPIC CEO CALLS ON AI INDUSTRY TO SLOW DOWN TECH RACE, DRAWING SUPPORT FROM ELON MUSK, SAM ALTMAN "But have you heard directly from any of them?" a reporter pressed, asking about AI tech leaders. "I said it from the very beginning. Whoever wins AI, and we're leading by a lot. Whoever wins AI wins," Trump responded, going on to demur when asked if he uses AI himself.
