US President Donald Trump says he has not yet used AI software such as ChatGPT. "But I know all about it," Trump said in an interview on NBC TV. "AI is a big thing."

Artificial intelligence will become a more important innovation than the internet, he predicted. At the same time, Trump denied that artificial intelligence would lead to job losses. On the contrary: "It will be the biggest job producer," said the President. There are currently fears that AI software could replace entry-level jobs in many industries. US companies such as Amazon have already pointed to AI effects when cutting thousands of jobs.

Since taking office, Trump has issued directives aimed at accelerating the development of artificial intelligence in the US. In doing so, he also reversed precautions taken under his predecessor Joe Biden, which were intended to contain AI risks.
