Trump calls slowing AI development a ‘conspiracy’, says ‘only China happy about it’

He also said that China is responsible for all this discussion as they do not want America to lead.

Amid a heated debate among top AI executives and founders over slowing AI development, US President Donald Trump on Monday called the push a “conspiracy” against AI and data centres.

He also said that China is responsible for all this discussion as they do not want America to lead.

"There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China.

WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS!,” he added.

The US President clearly said that the people who say AI is going to destroy the world, and that data centers are bad for your neighbourhood, are the same people that said, just a short time ago, that the world would be extinguished by “climate change.” “That HOAX never worked out for them, and now they’re on to the next one.

These people are Revolutionaries, but Revolutionaries for a Bad and Evil Cause.

Soon you’ll find out they’re working for people that do not have the best interests of the United States in mind (sic),” he noted in his X post.

Pushback from leadersTrump’s posts on X also drew strong pushback, including from US Senator Bernie Sanders, who reposted Trump’s remarks and said the risks posed by AI are real.“No, Mr.

President.

The scientists, industry leaders, economists and millions of workers concerned about the risk of AI are not ‘traitors’,” Sanders wrote.“They are proud Americans rightly concerned about the threat AI poses to their jobs, our democracy and the very future of humanity,” he added.Former US President Barack Obama too came in support of the approach of slowing down the pace of AI development. “I was encouraged this week to see the leaders of the frontier labs agree on the need for them to slow down the pace of AI development.

Given the stakes, it’s a good and necessary first step,” Obama said on X. “I’ve been watching the progress on AI for over a decade now, and one thing that’s clear to me is that the potential impact of this technology is not overhyped.

It’s also moving at lightning speed – and even faster than those who are engineering it can keep up with,” he noted.
