Donald Trump predicts AI will create millions of jobs

President Donald Trump has expressed strong optimism regarding the development of artificial intelligence, asserting that the technology will be a positive force for the global economy. In an interview with GB News, Trump dismissed concerns about a ‘machine revolt,’ stating that humans will always maintain control through specific mechanisms.

Trump predicted that AI will create millions of jobs, particularly through the construction and operation of data centers and related infrastructure. He described these facilities as ‘fabulous’ drivers of wealth that increase local property values and provide high-paying employment. He also suggested that AI could lead to significant medical breakthroughs.

Addressing the global technological race, Trump emphasized the necessity for the United States to outperform China in AI development. This strategic competition has also intersected with legal debates; the U.S. Justice Department recently filed a statement of interest in an OpenAI lawsuit, arguing that training AI models on copyrighted text constitutes ‘fair use’ to ensure national security and maintain a competitive edge.
