Trump Dismisses AI Doomsday Fears, Says It Won’t Wipe Out Humanity
On September 14, 2026, President Donald Trump dismissed warnings about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence, vehemently declaring such existential tech fears a "HOAX" on his Truth Social platform.
He likened these warnings to other significant controversies from his political past, branding the narrative a "SICK conspiracy" even more outrageous than what he referred to as the "Russia hoax" and climate change.
Instead of halting development, President Trump contended that the best safeguard against possible AI threats is a "STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT." His main objections revolved around global competition and the fragmentation of regulations:
Trump cautioned that enforcing strict safeguards could hinder the United States in its technological rivalry with China, insisting that "whoever wins AI, wins."
He criticized state-level initiatives aimed at establishing separate AI regulations, describing a patchwork of 50 different state approval processes as "unworkable" and detrimental to the nation's innovative advantage.
Trump's remarks stand in stark contrast to the increasing alarm expressed by global leaders and technology executives.
Prominent AI leaders—including Sam Altman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Dario Amodei of Anthropic—have recently supported calls for monitoring or slowing down development. Concerns heightened after a former Anthropic researcher publicly warned that advanced systems could lead to human extinction within the next decade.
The UN Security Council has convened a meeting to address the unprecedented risks posed by AI, while figures like UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk have urgently urged nations to regulate this rapidly advancing technology.
