Trump’s AI stance is politically toxic
AI summary
Trump publicly attacked "conspiracies" against AI and data centers, saying "whoever wins AI wins everything," but polls show 63% of Americans believe AI has at least a moderate chance of "destroying humanity," and 60% think the U.S. should slow AI development for safety, even if China takes the lead. Within the Republican Party, candidates have already distanced themselves from his stance; Senator Susan Collins advocates balancing AI's potential and risks, while Senate candidate Mike Rogers more bluntly said "AI development must be slowed."
