US President Donald Trump has sparked a fresh online backlash after declaring that America does not need strict guardrails for artificial intelligence because it has a “STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT”, adding the U.S. has that “in spades.” His extraordinary claim came as AI executives and researchers increasingly warn about the potential dangers of rapidly advancing technology. Trump also dismissed fears of AI “taking over the World, destroying Humanity” as a “HOAX,” while insisting that whoever wins the AI race will win the future. But his comments have triggered fierce reactions online, with critics mocking his repeated claims about his intelligence.
