Trump made the remarks during a phone conversation with technology and business figures, insisting that the United States must remain ahead in the global AI race.
“The robots are not going to be taking over the world, and that’s not going to happen,” he said.
While acknowledging the need for caution, Trump warned that concerns about AI should not lead to the industry being halted.
“We have to be a little bit careful. We have to very be, you know, we have to do things, and we have to do them prudently, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop an industry,” he added.
Trump described data centres as a major source of wealth for states and communities, likening them to “the oil of the next 20, 25 years.”
“The data centers are great, and they make people wealthy, and they make states wealthy, and it’s the oil of the next 20, 25 years. It’s bigger than the internet and the AI, you know, much more so,” he said.
He also warned that opposition to AI expansion could benefit China, saying the country would be pleased if America slowed down its progress.
“Whoever wins AI wins. That’s how big it is. It’s bigger than the internet,” Trump declared.
The US president further promised that every industry, company, state and individual in America would benefit from the country’s AI race.
“We’re going to make sure that everybody wins in the AI race in America, every industry, every company, every state, every people,” he said.
