U.S. President Donald Trump on the 13th expressed a negative view of slowing down artificial intelligence development and stressed his intention to maintain the lead in the rivalry with China. Saying "whoever masters AI will be the winner," he pushed back, saying "there are many forces opposed to development, and they are bringing up things that will not actually happen." Speaking to reporters in Ireland, where he was visiting, he noted, "We lead China in AI. We are the most advanced country in the world," and said, "I want to keep it that way." Even as wariness grows in the United States over the dramatic performance gains of AI, he intends to push development forward.
