Trump dismisses AI safety fears, warns US must beat China in technology race
The US president declared 'whoever wins with AI wins' as he brushed aside concerns about the dangers of accelerating artificial intelligence development.
US President Donald Trump has declared that America must prevail over China in the race to develop artificial intelligence, dismissing warnings that moving too quickly poses significant risks. "Whoever wins with AI wins," Trump said, framing the technology as central to global power competition.
The rivalry has a concrete dimension. China has grown increasingly anxious about its dependence on the United States for advanced semiconductor chips and AI technology, an vulnerability that Washington has sought to deepen through a series of restrictions on exports of cutting-edge components to Beijing.
Trump's comments signal that the administration intends to prioritise speed of AI development over caution, setting the tone for an intensifying technological contest between the world's two largest economies.
