President Donald Trump has weighed in on growing concerns surrounding artificial intelligence and the rapid construction of data centers needed to power increasingly advanced AI systems.
Trump drew a comparison between these warnings and what he called the “climate change hoax,” signaling skepticism toward claims that AI development and data-center expansion could create major environmental problems.
The comments come as Washington continues debating how AI should be regulated, with policymakers and technology leaders divided over issues including energy consumption, infrastructure, safety and the pace of AI development.
Trump’s remarks are likely to add another layer to the ongoing political fight over how the United States should approach the rapidly growing AI industry.
