Story summary

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and others in the AI industry have expressed concerns about the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, calling for a slower pace to ensure better alignment with safety measures. However, on Sunday during a trip back to Washington from Ireland, former President Donald Trump dismissed these worries, stating there would be "more good than bad" from AI. On Monday, Trump reiterated his stance on Truth Social, asserting that the only necessary control over AI is provided by a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, implying the U.S. already has this in abundance. He also criticized Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and other tech leaders warning about potential dangers of AI, accusing them of being part of a "SICK conspiracy" against the technology. Trump's comments come as Chinese President Xi Jinping prepares to visit Washington on September 24 for an official summit where AI development is expected to be a key topic.
