Summary
President Donald Trump has responded in characteristic fashion to the recent debate around AI safety, by declaring that these concerns are part of a long line of hoaxes “generated by the Radical Left Dumocrats, for purposes of destroying our Country.” On Saturday, Trump began his musings on AI by writing on his social network Truth Social that “many people think that the words ‘Artificial Intelligence’ are inaccurate, and ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence.” So he posted a poll where followers could vote on a new name for the technology, Superior Intelligence, Extreme Intelligence, or Supreme Intelligence. (The poll is still ongoing as of publication time) A couple hours later, Trump followed up with a post claiming that attempts at “the decimation, or destruction, of AI” are one of “many” Democratic hoaxes, similar to “RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, Global Warming, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone.
Trump did not offer any evidence to back up his claim that widespread suspicion of AI and data centers is not organic and sincere. (Both Republicans and Democrats have taken aim at data centers, and New York recently became the first state to halt permits for large projects.)
