President Donald Trump spoke on Sunday about artificial intelligence.
He said he does not want to slow down AI development.
He warned that the United States could lose its lead over China.
Trump said winning the AI race would help deal with the risks of the technology.
Trump said some rules may be needed, but he gave no details.
He blamed warnings about fast AI growth on unnamed “negative forces.”
He said AI will be “more good than bad, but by a lot.”
He denied that he was playing down the risks.
Trump spoke one day after Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, called for a pause in AI development.
Amodei wants safety measures to catch up.
Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman agreed with Amodei.
Trump said the U.S. leads China in AI and he wants to keep it that way.
Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet Trump at the White House later in September.
AI may come up at that meeting.
AI is now a major issue in the U.S. election year.
Barack Obama said Democrats should campaign on AI safety and its economic effects.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Congress needs “some guardrails” but should not panic.
