This is how Donald Trump dismissed a warning issued by a top figure in the information technology sector. Just two days ago, Dario Amodei, CEO of the AI company Anthropic, sounded the alarm. In a lengthy article, he stated that artificial intelligence technology is becoming dangerous and emphasized the need for extreme caution during its development.
Amodei states that it is crucial to slow down the pace at which AI models are being developed. Amodei himself heads an AI company, yet he has warned that this technology could be used to carry out bioterrorism or cyberattacks on a devastating scale.
In an interview with CNN, he emphasized the need for all organizations in the AI sector to reach a consensus to ensure that AI models do not become harmful to humanity.
Throughout Tuesday (Indian time), Trump made a series of posts regarding AI models. He stated that fear was being spread unnecessarily and dismissed proposals for government regulation of AI technology.
Trump claimed there is a “sick conspiracy” surrounding AI. He noted that some people argue AI will destroy the world or that data centers are harmful to the surrounding areas—the same people who previously claimed climate change would destroy the planet. However, spreading those rumors yielded no results, so now they are circulating different ones.
Meanwhile, a report by the US news outlet CNN indicates that even at the highest levels of the White House, there is dissatisfaction with Trump’s stance; officials argue that the President fails to grasp the gravity of the danger.
A new market bubble centered on AI has been created in global stock markets. AI is being leveraged to boost stock markets precisely when the global economy is in a precarious state, suggesting an attempt by international investment capital to mask the underlying risks.
