Trump’s ‘biggest miscalculation’? How one adviser steered the great AI freakout

Donald Trump has taken a unique stance on artificial intelligence, dismissing concerns about its dangers as a "hoax" and a "scam". This position is in contrast to many lawmakers from both parties in the US, who are calling for regulation of powerful AI models. Trump's stance is also at odds with some of his former advisers, including Steve Bannon, who have expressed concerns about the technology. This disagreement highlights the ongoing debate about the role of government in regulating emerging technologies.

Why it matters

The White House is out of step with its own party on AI restrictions. This could lead to uncertainty in the tech industry, affecting investor sentiment and market confidence.
