Trump's Statement on AI Safety in 60 Minutes Interview

In an interview on the 60 Minutes program, Donald Trump argued that the risks regarding artificial intelligence safety are exaggerated and that this situation can be managed by the Department of Justice.

Trump touched upon the warnings of AI executives regarding the safety of their models on the 60 Minutes program, stating that the risks are not as realistic as discussed and are manageable. Stating that the Department of Justice manages these risks, Trump said that he called the executive of a major company who was reported to have done something bad with AI and threatened them with arrest.

Claiming that this executive, whose name or company he did not disclose, completely changed everything after the threat, Trump also stated during the interview that he prefers the term superintelligence over artificial intelligence. Emphasizing that China is completely focused on the field of superintelligence and that Chinese leader Xi Jinping's decisions are valid, Trump expressed that he could work with Democrats on AI safety and wants to maintain leadership in the AI race.
