Statements on Artificial Intelligence from Trump
President Donald Trump stated in a social media post that they will not hinder the growth of the industry regarding the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology.

Plan to Support Sector Growth
Stating that the administration will support the artificial intelligence industry during its growth process, Trump announced that new steps will be taken in this field.
He also proposed the idea of renaming artificial intelligence as super intelligence or superior intelligence and establishing an artificial intelligence power.
Call for Regulation from Senator Tim Kaine
Virginia Senator Tim Kaine criticized President Trump's anti-regulation stance and displayed a different approach.
