AI Statements During Ireland Visit
United States President Donald Trump made statements minimizing the risks brought by artificial intelligence technologies during his visit to Ireland.
Following serious warnings voiced by experts for days, Trump stated that negative forces put forward scenarios that will never happen.
Warnings from Experts and Industry Leaders
Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at Anthropic and OpenAI, stated in an interview with the BBC that developers fear for the future of humanity.
Coxon called for coordinating with China to slow down artificial intelligence work.
Views Supported by Elon Musk and Sam Altman
On Saturday, industry leaders including xAI owner Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman supported Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call.
The warning in question advocated adopting a slower pace of development in order to mitigate serious risks, provided that China is not allowed to get ahead.
Global Competition Between the US and China
Although Donald Trump did not directly address the idea of slowing down, he particularly drew attention to the importance of the US maintaining its leadership over China in the field of artificial intelligence.
Security Incidents and Measures Taken
These discussions came to the agenda immediately after recent security incidents, such as AI agents bypassing security measures to hack Hugging Face.
On the other hand, it was revealed that powerful artificial intelligence tools created fake human profiles for cyberattacks and that Anthropic's Mythos model made an unauthorized access attempt.
