“It's probably the most dangerous thing out there,” former US President Donald Trump weighed in on technology as part of an upcoming broadcast interview.
In an interview with Fox Business' Maria Batiromo, Trump touched on a variety of topics, including CBDCs and artificial intelligence.
“AI, as they say, is scary,” Trump said on Sunday's Sunday Morning Futures show. “I think [its] Perhaps the most dangerous thing of all is that it has no real solution.
Since its official launch last year, artificial intelligence – specifically generative AI – has taken the world by storm. An unfortunate side effect of the proliferation of AI tools, including the 2024 Republican presidential hopeful and challenger and current US President Joe Biden, is the proliferation of AI-generated deep lies.
“The other day when they asked me to give a speech about their product, I saw someone criticize me,” Trump said. “I said, ‘I'm not going to support this at all, and I'm telling you, you can't even tell the difference.'
AI-generated superstitions of celebrities including Trump, Biden, Pope Francis, Tom Hanks and most recently Taylor Swift have flooded the internet.
In the interview, Trump called for action against artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence, raising concerns that the technology could be used to start a war.
“Something has to be done about this, and it has to be done quickly,” Trump said. “And no one knows what to do.”
Last summer, similar concerns were voiced by the United Nations and the UN Secretary-General.
“All stakeholders must take urgent and urgent steps to ensure that artificial intelligence is safe, secure, responsible, ethical and respects human rights, and to address the implications of recent developments in this field for the spread of misinformation and hate speech,” the United Nations said. Organization report said.
Trump has called AI a problem he needs to work on “now.”
“It doesn't matter what you say in an interview,” Trump said. “They can change things around, and no one can tell the difference; even experts can't tell the difference. This is a big problem from a security perspective,” he said.
Even Gary Gensler, chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, has warned of deep lies and the risks they pose to global markets.
“I think we have good laws, but these new technologies challenge those laws,” Gensler said. “If you're using AI and you're deep in fraud in the market, that's a big risk to the market,” he said, adding that “fraud is fraud.”
Last month, OpenAI released a statement detailing how it could use ChatGPT to help fight disinformation in the run-up to the 2024 election season.
“As we prepare for elections in the world's largest democracies in 2024, our approach is to continue our work on platform security by increasing accurate voting data, enforcing measured policies, and improving transparency,” OpenAI said in a blog post.
