Washington, February 5 – In a candid interview with NBC News, former US President Donald Trump revealed he has never personally used ChatGPT or similar AI interfaces, yet he firmly believes they play a pivotal role in America’s technological future.
Trump emphasized the United States’ commanding lead in the global AI race, particularly over China. ‘We’re way ahead of China. America is ahead of the world in the AI race,’ he declared, underscoring his confidence in the nation’s dominance.
Addressing concerns about AI-driven job losses, Trump drew parallels to past technological shifts. ‘They said the internet would kill jobs, robots would kill jobs, everything would kill jobs. But if you’re smart, you end up doing very well,’ he remarked, dismissing fears of widespread unemployment.
He highlighted booming investments in AI infrastructure, noting that AI and automobile companies are establishing factories across the US. These facilities, requiring massive electricity, are designed to generate their own power, signaling a strategic push for energy independence.
Trump also touched on the challenges of leadership, calling the presidency the ‘most dangerous job.’ Despite personal security concerns, he stressed the need to push fears aside to lead effectively.
As AI reshapes industries, Trump’s vision positions America not just as a leader but as the unrivaled frontrunner, ready to invest even more in this transformative technology.
