The comment comes after OpenAI's and Anthropic's CEOs, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, respectively, as well as entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk, all warned that AI is now developing at a pace that poses potential risks to humanity.
However, Trump seemingly played down the threat, without mentioning any individual actor.
We can put up guardrails. We can do both. But I think there are a lot of negative forces that are bringing this up, something they should refrain from.
