Trump Compares AI Critics to Climate Change Doomsayers in Rant
Trump dismisses AI concerns, likening critics to past climate alarmists. 'Nobody was dead,' he claims.
POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump has drawn parallels between AI skeptics and past environmental doomsayers in a recent social media post, suggesting that warnings about artificial intelligence are as baseless as earlier predictions about global warming.
In the post, Trump criticized experts who argue that AI is being developed too quickly, comparing them to activists who once claimed humanity would face extinction due to climate change. He noted that those warnings were later rebranded as ‘Climate Change’ after the planet cooled, adding that ‘nobody was dead.’ He claimed these same individuals now warn that AI will lead to disaster, calling it a ‘Hoax’ compared to previous issues like Russia or Ukraine.

The former president emphasized that AI could determine future geopolitical dominance, referring to it as ‘SUPER INTELLIGENCE’ as part of his effort to reshape public perception. He also reiterated his stance against AI regulation, stating that the only necessary ‘guardrails’ are a ‘STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT,’ which he claims the U.S. currently has. This rhetoric comes amid growing concerns from tech leaders about the need for ethical and legal frameworks around AI development.
