FROM ABC NEWS: Last week, President Donald Trump took the stage at the United States-Saudi Investment Forum, where he touted his administration’s efforts to supercharge artificial intelligence in the United States.
Trump said he was proud to have “ended the ridiculous Biden-era restrictions” and vowed to “build the largest, most powerful, most innovative AI ecosystem in the world.”
But as Trump stood there boasting of his administration’s extensive agenda for AI — which he has previously described as “one of the most important technological revolutions in the history of the world” — some of his most loyal supporters within the MAGA base were denouncing his effort to accelerate the AI revolution.
Steve Bannon, longtime Trump ally and MAGA influencer, took to his podcast War Room, to denounce AI, calling it likely “the most dangerous technology in the history of mankind.”
“I’m a capitalist,” Bannon said. “This is not capitalism. This is corporatism and crony capitalism.”
Bannon spoke against the lack of regulation regarding AI.
“You have more restrictions on starting a nail salon on Capitol Hill or to have your hair braided, then you have on the most dangerous technologies in the history of mankind,” Bannon said.
He’s not alone. According to ABC News, there is “a growing list of some of the most influential voices in Trump’s MAGA movement” who are “voicing deep concerns in what could indicate a fundamental fracture within the broad coalition.”
“History will know us for this,” Bannon said in an interview with ABC News. “Even more than the age of Trump, [the MAGA base] will be known for this. So we’ve got to get it right.”
NEW: Bannon tells ABC News he's warning that Trump admin's AI agenda could “crush the working class,” fracture MAGA, and cost GOP in 26 & 28
He's working to “turbo-charge” the base to revolt against it
