A top American official has dismissed growing concerns about artificial intelligence as exaggerated, calling them "hoaxes" in a blunt statement that contrasts sharply with warnings from tech leaders and researchers about the risks of unchecked AI development. The remarks come amid rising debates over regulation, ethical use, and potential threats posed by rapidly advancing AI systems. While critics argue unchecked innovation could lead to job displacement, bias, and even existential dangers, the president’s stance suggests a more optimistic—or dismissive—view of the technology’s challenges. The comment fuels an already polarized discussion on whether AI’s benefits outweigh its risks.
The US president said the fears over AI were just 'hoaxes'.
