Donald Trump and Elon Musk on AI: I love you neither
Donald Trump has remained relatively quiet on AI. The latter, however, promised to undo a regulation taken by Joe Biden which notably forces companies that develop powerful models to be accountable to the authorities on the way in which they produce these technologies and secure them.
For the rest, the Republican promised during his campaign: “I will ban the use of AI to censor the speech of American citizens. » A very vague position which leaves the door open to numerous interpretations. He also believes that AI is “very dangerous” and that it will require a significant amount of energy to operate.
