US President Trump has downplayed concerns about AI existential risk, calling it a "hoax" and stating that the US has strong leadership to control AI. This stance is seen as a reaction to criticism from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and others, who argue that AI safety regulations are necessary to prevent catastrophic outcomes. Trump's comments have been criticized as uninformed and driven by self-interest, with some analysts suggesting that he may be trying to appease China or boost Nvidia's stock prices. AI summary

President Trump is reportedly considering a national TV address to declare certain aspects of the AI race an "imminent threat to humanity" and announce regulations to pause Tech companies' interests, potentially changing the course of the AI landscape. Trump's decision may hinge on his polls and the market's reaction to his stance on AI, with former allies like Steve Bannon and Bernie Sanders opposing him on AI safety. Trump's potential deal with China on AI could be a critical moment, but his history of untrustworthiness raises concerns about the legitimacy of any agreement. AI summary
