Trump dismisses AI danger warnings as baseless during Ireland visit

President Donald Trump downplayed artificial‑intelligence risks, saying “negative forces” were raising concerns that “won’t happen” while visiting Ireland. He added that these forces should not be bringing up the issue at all. The comment followed days of dire warnings from experts about AI. A former Anthropic researcher warned that continuing the current development speed carries a “strong chance that we could all die in the immediate future.” Trump’s remarks contrasted sharply with the warning, suggesting the threats are overstated. The exchange underscores a growing clash between political leaders and AI specialists over how fast the technology should be advanced.
