US President Donald Trump is worried about AI. He believes that a “kill switch” is necessary to keep the continuous progress in AI under control. He said that steps should be taken to ensure that this ongoing progress does not lead to a situation where the very existence of humanity is in danger. Trump said that while on one hand this technology can make various sectors like banking more secure and efficient, there are also huge risks associated with it. Let us know what else Trump has said about this technology.
What does Trump think about AI?
During an interview, Trump said that AI is a technology that is capable of making the banking system better and more secure. He further stated that this technology requires government security regulations and that a “kill switch” must also be present. It is worth noting that Trump’s statement comes after warnings from experts in which he expressed concern about Anthropic’s new AI model, *Claude Mythos*. Experts believe that this model can help in carrying out complex cyber attacks, which can cause major problems for the banking sector. Anthropic has not yet issued a statement regarding these warnings; However, the company has indicated that the public preview of this model will not be made available to everyone.
What are the concerns about Mythos?
This model from Anthropic is so powerful that the company has not yet released it to the general public. Anthropic has currently partnered with about 40 companies to test this model. This model has the ability to detect hidden bugs within the software. In response, OpenAI has also launched a new competing model—*GPT-5.4-Cyber*—designed to assist cybersecurity professionals. This tool can be used for both defensive security and offensive exploitation purposes; As a result, the company has limited access to it. Under the company’s “Trusted Access for Cyber” (TAC) program, users who would like to access this AI model will first have to go through an identity verification process.
Constant warnings about AI
Trump is not alone in issuing warnings about the rapid advances being made in AI. Yoshua Bengio—a Canadian computer scientist often referred to as the “Godfather of AI”—has issued similar warnings. He believes that AI is now becoming beyond human control. As a result, AI companies now need to prioritize security over profits.
