In the show, Fallon highlighted Trump's post on Truth Social, where he claimed that the only safeguard AI needs is a strong and smart (high IQ) president. After reading the post, Fallon remarked,"We’re relying on Trump to beat AI?! I don’t think Trump can beat Wordle. You know what I’m saying? Trump’s handling it, which means he’s going to change it from artificial intelligence to American intelligence."Fallon's remarks came during a debate about the requirement for rules on AI. The discussion happened last week after the former researcher at Anthropic, Jacob Coxon, announced that he was leaving the company. He warned that the technology could kill people by the end of the decade.Over the weekend, Anthropic's chief executive Dario Amodei answered the concerns in a long essay of nearly 4,000 words. He wrote that people would have to slow down the pace at which they are making powerful AI models. Even if progress still feels fast, people would need to use their extra time wisely.Soon, Amodei gained backing from Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI; Demis Hassabis, the chief scientist at Alphabet and co-founder of Google DeepMind; and the founder of xAI, Elon Musk.Fallon opened up about Trump's AI stance with satireJimmy Fallon at yesterday's show (Image via YouTube/@The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon)Fallon also mentioned that Donald Trump is not ignoring the risks, but he believes the advantages will be far greater than the harms. He again mocked and said that Trump does not appear interested in stopping something that allows him to create images of himself as Jesus riding a bald eagle.The TV host also mentioned that Trump's concerns over AI had been overstated by strongly negative groups, and Trump made plans to counter those groups by creating a new military branch called the Very Negative Force. Meanwhile, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and the CEO of Anthropic all expressed that they want to slow down unsafe AI development.Read more: Donald Trump's remarks on the ongoing AI debate draw a range of responses from the public.Follow Soap Central for more updates on entertainment.
