Is AI a threat to humanity? | Reuters World News
U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed fears that artificial intelligence (AI) could pose an existential threat to humanity, stating that the U.S. must continue to lead China in AI development. This comes after leading figures in the AI industry, including from OpenAI and Anthropic, called for a slowdown in AI development due to safety concerns.
