Trump says the scale of AI may surpass the Internet, and calls for regulations to avoid hindering the development of the industry

Comparing news, US President Trump said that artificial intelligence (AI) may have more influence than the Internet, surpassing anything humans have ever seen, and called for strengthened regulations while avoiding restrictions on the development of the AI industry.

Trump said that the US is currently leading the world in the field of AI, and the government should promote AI infrastructure construction, including speeding up the construction of data centers and supporting power facilities. AI companies are building new power generation facilities to power data centers rather than relying on old grids, he said.

Trump also urged state and local officials to support AI data center projects, believing that they would generate significant jobs, taxes, and investment. However, he also acknowledged that the AI industry is facing pressure on its public image, and that some regions are objecting to the electricity consumption, water use, and environmental impact brought about by data centers.
