While many technology experts have begun to worry that the technology could get out of control and even threaten human safety, Trump has put forward a completely different view.
A few days ago, leaders of several well-known technology companies publicly issued warnings, saying that artificial intelligence is becoming too powerful.
In response to these concerns, Trump stated directly on social media that the claim that artificial intelligence will destroy humanity is completely a hoax.
He also wrote that managing artificial intelligence does not require complicated rules at all; the only thing needed is a “strong and smart president with a very high IQ,” and the United States happens to have such a person now.
However, the latest opinion polls show that about 70 percent of Americans are actually more afraid, worrying that this new technology could bring risks of losing control.
When faced with increasingly powerful artificial intelligence, should humanity race ahead with all its strength to compete for first place, or should it stop first to ensure safety?
