US President Donald Trump has rejected the idea of combining American and Chinese efforts on artificial intelligence, dismissing broader fears about AI risks as "hoaxes," according to a report from Al Jazeera.
The comments come amid ongoing global debate over how governments should approach the rapid development of AI technology, with some officials and researchers warning of safety and security risks tied to unchecked advancement, particularly around geopolitical rivals collaborating on the technology.
Skepticism toward AI risk warnings
Trump's characterization of AI safety concerns as exaggerated puts him at odds with some voices in the technology and policy community who have called for international cooperation, including with China, to manage risks associated with advanced AI systems.
By ruling out a combined US-China effort, Trump's position suggests the administration intends to pursue AI development independently rather than through joint frameworks with Beijing, which has been a rival in the race to develop advanced AI capabilities.
The remarks are likely to fuel continued discussion over how the two countries should approach AI competition and safety as the technology continues to advance rapidly.
