At the UN General Assembly, President Donald Trump said the U.S. Justice Department could intervene in the artificial intelligence sector, reiterating his opposition to new AI regulations.
President Donald Trump told delegates at the United Nations General Assembly that U.S. law-enforcement agencies, specifically the Department of Justice, would monitor the artificial intelligence industry closely and could step in if necessary. He emphasized his stance against additional regulation, saying he would not hinder the growth of a technology he described as "bigger than the Industrial Revolution." Trump also indicated that future U.S. government documents would refer to "super intelligence" rather than artificial intelligence.
The comments came amid heightened public concern over AI risks, highlighted by the recent resignation of an Anthropic researcher who warned that AI could pose existential threats. Trump dismissed such warnings as unfounded, calling them a "hoax."
