“But I know everything about it,” said Trump in an interview on NBC. “AI is a big deal.”
Artificial intelligence will become a more important innovation than the Internet, he predicted. At the same time, Trump denied that artificial intelligence would lead to job losses. Quite the opposite: “It will be the biggest job producer,” said the president. There are currently fears that AI software could replace entry-level jobs in many industries, among other things. US companies such as Amazon have already referred to AI effects when cutting thousands of jobs.
Since taking office, Trump has issued orders intended to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence in the United States. He also reversed precautions taken under his predecessor Joe Biden that were intended to contain AI risks. (sda/dpa)
