Trump calls AI safety worries a hoax and pushes back on extra rules

US President Donald Trump has stated that concerns over artificial intelligence safety are a hoax and criticised demands for stricter rules on the technology. His comments follow a statement by Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark, who told the BBC that a mandatory kill switch checked by a third party might be necessary for the industry. Clark made his remarks after several leaders and workers at major AI companies warned about the risks the technology brings to people.
