President Donald Trump said late Thursday that existential risks from artificial intelligence do not worry him. He told reporters his attention is on the United States holding its advantage over China.
When asked if he has concerns about existential risks posed by AI, Trump said, “No, I don’t have any,” according to POLITICO. He continued, “I have concerns that if we don’t win AI, we’re going to be put in a very bad position.” Trump also said, “We are leading China right now by a pretty good period.”
