Summary
Trump’s downplaying AI risks as a political hoax, framing regulation as a threat to economic growth and his own leadership — but even his fiercest allies are starting to question the rush. While big tech and investors push for speed, figures like Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon warn that unchecked AI could be catastrophic. The stakes? Not just safety, but global dominance — if the U.S. doesn’t lead in ethical AI, authoritarian powers might get there first. The debate is tearing through politics, forcing uneasy alliances and leaving policymakers with no easy answers. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
