Claims of AI Danger Are All a Hoax: Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed warnings from experts that artificial intelligence could pose serious risks to humanity in the future. Trump called claims that AI could dominate the world or destroy humanity a hoax and argued that criticism of AI and data centers is being driven by misinformation. He has also rejected calls for tighter controls, while emphasizing the need for the United States to maintain its lead in AI development.

Meanwhile, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has called for urgent action to prevent AI from widening global inequality. The Gates Foundation has announced plans to spend at least $1 billion over the next two years to expand access to AI and support applications in areas including healthcare, education and agriculture. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has separately stressed the need for global AI governance, arguing that countries should work together to ensure the technology develops in a way that remains accountable and beneficial to humanity.
