POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump dismissed growing concerns about artificial intelligence and its potential impact on society, calling the warnings a ‘hoax’ just days after sharing an AI-generated image showing robots marching through Washington, D.C.

The 80-year-old leader posted on Truth Social, stating that claims AI would lead to robots taking over cities were exaggerated. He compared the issue to past climate change debates and accused critics of being ‘revolutionaries’ working against national interests. Trump also claimed to be the ‘Hoax Buster’ who was debunking these fears.

His comments came amid rising alarms from industry leaders like Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, who warned that uncontrolled AI could cause massive economic damage. However, Trump rejected calls for regulation, insisting the U.S. already has strong legal tools in place and that a ‘strong and smart president’ is all AI needs. He also suggested slowing AI development could allow China to surpass the U.S. in technological advancement.
