Trump’s AI fears

Trump first expressed concern when asked by Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo about his take on a potential central bank digital currency, our colleague Dominick Mastrangelo reported.“Very dangerous. It’s very dangerous. One day you don’t have any money in your account. It can be a very dangerous thing,” said the former president, who has previously vowed to block the creation of a digital dollar.

 “And the other thing that I think is maybe the most dangerous thing out there of anything, because there’s no real solution — the AI, as they call it,” he added. “It is so scary.”Trump echoed concerns from technology and political observers that in an election year, AI could be used to distort imagery, voices and other forms of media to

deceive the public for political purposes.
