Sick conspiracy against AI, data centres: Trump calls AI risks a 'hoax'

President Donald Trump on Monday lashed out against concerns about rogue artificial intelligence, claiming that any efforts to limit the technology are part of a "SICK conspiracy." "AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX," Trump posted on social media, later suggesting that those calling for guardrails on the technology had also warned about climate change, which he also called a hoax. The president was pushing back against calls by tech leaders such as Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman and SpaceXAI's Elon Musk to have greater government oversight of AI. The rapidly evolving technology has become a source of controversy after a series of hacks in recent months that showed AI agents can conspire to deceive humans. Many tech leaders generally say their goal is to develop the technology in ways that promote safety, address legal liability, feed economic growth, advance science and preserve national security. But they have also ...

Beijing hits back at Anthropic CEO's call to curb China's AI development

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday hit back at a call from the head of Anthropic for the US to curb China's artificial intelligence capabilities, which he issued as he argued for a global slowdown on AI development. US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are expected to discuss AI governance, among other topics, at a meeting planned on September 24. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in a lengthy essay published on Saturday warned that a "Chinese lead in AI would pose grave danger for the United States and the world." He called for continuing restrictions on sales of cutting-edge AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China in order to keep the US' AI edge. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to a question about Amodei's essay by saying that all parties should work together on AI. "Fearmongering, confrontation and vicious competition will only disrupt the process of global AI governance which serves no one's interest," spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a .

AI offers opportunity but needs safeguards, right governance: Trai chief

Artificial Intelligence can transform how telecom networks are managed and threats detected, but its growing use must be accompanied by safeguards, human oversight, and the ability to intervene where necessary as technology becomes more autonomous, TRAI Chairman Anil Kumar Lahoti said on Monday. As AI becomes more deeply embedded in communications networks, operators and technology companies need to invest in responsible AI, undertake risk assessments, maintain logs of decisions and test models before deployment, Lahoti said, stressing that high-impact systems should retain human oversight. "AI creates opportunity, but also requires safeguards through the right kind of governance approach," Lahoti said, adding that automation should improve outcomes without obscuring accountability. Human oversight, auditability and the ability to intervene will remain critical even as networks become increasingly autonomous, the top boss of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said.

No turning back from AI, but cost, rules will shape adoption: TeamLease CEO

The ongoing transition to an AI-driven world is irreversible, but regulation and cost of usage will ultimately determine just how rapidly and deeply it permeates businesses and everyday life, TeamLease EdTech Founder and CEO Shantanu Rooj has said. As infusion of AI becomes mainstream, merely possessing AI skills will cease to be a differentiator, and domain expertise, understanding of markets and consumers, and the ability to deploy the frontier technology to generate business advantages will gain an edge, he said. "...people with domain skills, analytical skills and transformation professionals who can look at workflows, industries, inefficiencies, use AI to improve revenues, reduce cost or improve engagement will possibly gain a lot of favour," Rooj told PTI. He likened AI-led disruption to "climate change" and said it should not be construed as "a passing shower". "Whatever is happening all around us because of AI, to my mind, is not a passing shower, it's (akin to) climate ...
