Trump Suggests AI as Shield Against Future Controversies
Donald Trump hinted that he might use artificial intelligence to avoid taking responsibility for future problems.
He mentioned a video where something was thrown from a White House window, which officials said was just maintenance.
Trump said it was probably fake, made by AI.
He believes that AI is a tool that can make fake things, and it can be blamed for negative events.
This worries experts who think it might become harder to believe what’s real if leaders can easily say that inconvenient things are AI-generated.
Trump suggests AI could be used to deflect political controversies.
He made the comment when asked about a viral video from the White House.
Officials had attributed the video to routine maintenance.
Trump framed AI as a tool to create 'phony things'.
Experts are concerned about erosion of trust due to deepfakes.
