President Donald Trump this week answered growing public concerns about artificial intelligence with a post on Truth Social that linked the issue to his long-running dismissal of climate science, as reported by Inside Climate News. In the post, Trump suggests that the same people who warned the planet would be dead within twelve years from global warming are now the ones raising alarms about AI.
The post also appears to seize on the evolution of terminology from 'global warming' to 'climate change' as proof that the underlying claims are unstable. By framing AI worries as the latest version of a supposed hoax, the president positions himself as a skeptic of expert consensus across different fields.
Since this article relies on a single source, there is no additional reporting to confirm or contest the details. The notable point is the ease with which climate-denial language is being transferred to the emerging discussion about artificial intelligence.
