Trump at Doonbeg golf tournament criticizes AI 'negative forces'

At the Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg, Ireland, former President Donald Trump said there are "negative forces" around artificial intelligence during an appearance at a golf tournament. His remarks came a day after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay urging greater precautions, putting Trump at odds with tech leaders who are calling for more regulation and a slowdown in AI development. The visit included a separate comment that he would "love" to see a united Ireland. Anti-war and anti-Trump protests were expected near the course, and reporters noted Trump has no official duties requiring his presence in Ireland during the trip. The exchange highlights a public split between a prominent political figure and industry executives over how to manage AI risks.
