Donald Trump has called AI safety warnings a \u201choax\u201d in response to claims the technology has a greater than 10% chance of killing all humans.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Last week, an Anthropic safety researcher claimed there is a greater than 10% chance that AI \u201ccould kill all humans\u201d within the next decade<\/a>, admitting there is no coordinated plan to prevent it from happening.<\/p>\n

Since then, the bosses of the major AI tech companies have called for a global slowdown in AI development, and requested the U.S. government impose guardrails \u2014 such as a kill switch that can be checked by a third party \u2014 on AI. But in a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump made his position clear.<\/p>\n

Trump said there was a \u201cSICK conspiracy\u201d underway to undermine AI development, and insisted he alone would prevent AI from going rogue. He compared AI safety concerns to what he called the \u201cGlobal Warming Scam,\u201d and called for an acceleration in data center development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people that say AI is going to destroy the World, and that Data Centers are bad for your neighborhood, are the same people that said, just a short time ago, that the World would be extinguished by \u2018Climate Change,\u2019\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cThat HOAX never worked out for them, and now they\u2019re on to the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.S. president called himself “the Hoax Buster,\u201d saying the only “guardrails” needed for AI was a “strong and smart” president.<\/p>\n

Nvidia boss Jensen Huang \u2014 who is at the heart of the AI boom \u2014 took a phone call from Trump while he was on-stage at a conference. Huang, himself an opponent of AI regulation, put Trump on speakerphone for a conversation that has since gone viral on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m telling you it\u2019s all a hoax,\u201d Trump said as Huang help up a microphone to a phone. \u201cData centers are great and they make people wealthy and they make states wealthy. It\u2019s the oil of the next 20-25 years. It\u2019s bigger than the internet. They\u2019re just playing right into the hands of a lot of people who don\u2019t want to see it happen. They could be political people. It could also be China. And we\u2019re not going to let that happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe robots are not gonna be taking over the world. That\u2019s not gonna happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon announced his resignation on X \/ Twitter<\/u><\/a>, accusing both ChatGPT maker OpenAI and Claude maker Anthropic of \u201cracing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither company is acting responsible,\u201d Coxon said. \u201cDo not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible \u2014 but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.\u201d<\/p>\n
