  1. 3:46What is the importance of super intelligence in the next 10 years?
  2. 3:50I think Jan said, would you say, would you say something about that?
  3. 5:48Do you all agree with the president that no guardrails are necessary that you can self-regulate and that this existential threat that you've all talked about can actually be managed?
Unknown 0:00 ↗
of that world and I think it's a very special day. You know they almost viewed it as a separate kind of a constitution and I think they when they signed that it meant a lot.
Mr. President, did anything that you heard today? Did anything change your mind given the fact that you said you don't want to see guardrails, you don't want to see AI slowed down? Anything that you heard today change your mind on that?
Donald Trump 0:22 ↗
Well, I think I'm seeing tremendous self-policing and they understand that they have to self-police and it's very hard for somebody to come out say get into these these models are very complex and again I believe they're going to be used for the good and when they're not we're going to be able to nab them but there's going to be a tremendous self-policing aspect. We're also thinking about forming a committee of sorts where we put maybe 10 people on that committee. It could be from that group so that we can so the committee can watch over the whole enterprise.
Unknown 0:55 ↗
You've also indicated that Democrats are talking about concerns about AI as a hoax. Do you believe that after meeting with all these?
Donald Trump 1:02 ↗
Yeah, I do. I think they would love to see it shut down just like it was a hoax the 12 years for global warming which they changed right now to climate change.
Unknown 1:11 ↗
Even though Bill Gates says that AI could kill up to a billion.
Donald Trump 1:14 ↗
Well, now he's not saying that anymore.
Unknown 1:16 ↗
He said that this Sunday.
Donald Trump 1:17 ↗
Well, I don't care what he said Sunday because I can tell you yesterday he didn't say that at all. He actually went the opposite. But look, it's one voice. He actually went the opposite. No, we're looking at this for good. It's also maybe the biggest industrial. They say bigger than the industrial revolution. Think of it.
Unknown 1:38 ↗
You know what? We're leading by a lot and we're going to keep it that way. You're someone who always talks about growth when speaking of business. After this meeting, meeting with all these incredible minds, how much growth can we see in the upcoming years with all of your?
Donald Trump 1:52 ↗
Growth like nobody's ever seen before. And I see it with these statements. Statements came out. You opened a company and if it does reasonably well, it goes a little bit like this. These companies are opening and going like a rocket ship. This is unbelievable growth for our country and we have all of them.
Unknown 2:10 ↗
Mr. President, Europe, Europe, all in all due respect, Europe has none. They have none. They have to count on us to help.
Donald Trump 2:17 ↗
But we have all of them. And it's it's amazing. Second is China. But as president, she would say, you know, they're quite a ways back. And we have to keep it that way. Remember this. Whoever wins SI because now we're calling it again super. We're using the word super because the other word is a fake word. It's just not a it's not a good it's not an appropriate word. But whoever wins SI is going to win.
Unknown 2:44 ↗
Americans concerned about what do you tell Americans sir about data centers going up in their communities?
Donald Trump 2:50 ↗
Well, that's another thing we discussed and I think the companies will be very generous to them both financially and otherwise. I think they'll help with their schools. They'll help with their teachers. They'll help with pay of the teachers and the people that are good to them. And I see that happening and I think the companies will be very generous to these communities. And if you look at most for almost in all cases the data centers have tremendously the money being brought in their taxes have gone down their incomes have gone up their value of their housing has gone up but I think that the companies and here's one of the greatest in the world's two of the greatest in the world. They're going to be very generous with communities and I think in a way they're going to be forming partnerships with communities when they open up data centers and they're going to benefit both financially, morally every single way they're going to be benefiting and I think that's taking place.
Unknown 3:46 ↗
What is the importance of super intelligence in the next 10 years?
Donald Trump 3:50 ↗
What's the biggest thing there is? And nobody even can answer that question because it is the biggest thing there is. Maybe the biggest thing there's ever been. It's much bigger than the internet. Now, that's already been proved. The internet was the big thing when it happened. This blows it away. I think Jan said, would you say, would you say something about that?
Jensen Huang 4:09 ↗
Yes, sir. Absolutely. Well, this is this is the largest industrial revolution in history and we're going through the single largest infrastructure buildout in human history. And so it's creating a million jobs here in the United States. We have chip plants coming up, computer plants coming up, we have factories coming up. And so it's creating just an enormous amount of jobs. On top of this infrastructure, several hundred billion dollars of venture capital has gone into creating new companies and all of those thousands of companies are creating lots and lots of jobs.
Donald Trump 4:41 ↗
Do you as an example as an example video? So he's still a young guy, handsome guy. Look at him. Very handsome guy but as an example in a fairly short period of time he's built I think the most valuable right like in the stock market it's very easy to value the most valuable company anywhere in the world and it's basically new technology it's not oil and gas and all the other things that you associate with also a lot of money it's it's technology and this man has done a great job that man right there has done a great job you know what he's doing too. Same thing. And Greg, do you have anything to say?
Unknown 5:22 ↗
Yeah, we so we we build artificial intelligence.
Donald Trump 5:25 ↗
This is open AI.
Unknown 5:26 ↗
Open. Thank you, Mr. President. We build artificial intelligence to benefit everyone. We think it can lift everyone up. We see a whole renaissance of small businesses, scientific discoveries really starting to happen, drug development, really being able to improve everyone's lives. And we think that these accords and and under President Trump's leadership, everyone coming together to agree on how to move forward safely, I think that's just so important because we're doing this in order to benefit people in the world.
So, do you do you agree with the president? Do you agree with the president? Do you all agree with the president that no guardrails are necessary that you can self-regulate and that this existential threat that you've all talked about can actually be managed?
Donald Trump 6:03 ↗
That's a question for you all. Actually, I don't know who to focus on. Well, I mean, I can tell you the answer is yes. We discussed it with the top about 40 people, but somebody who answered it very well is Jensen. He answered it before. Jensen, go ahead.
Jensen Huang 6:15 ↗
There's no conflict between innovation, technology, and safety. We are going to have to create new technologies to advance the capabilities of AI, but we're also creating new technologies to advance the safety of AI. All of this technology is being developed by the industry today. And you you see behind me just an incredible number of leaders in our industry moving together as one. And we're gonna we're going to advance this technology that is so consequential to humanity, so consequential to the future prosperity of our nation. And we're going to do it responsibly and safely.
Unknown 6:49 ↗
Mr. President, are you concerned at all that your continued support of data centers could hurt Republicans in the midterms?
Donald Trump 6:58 ↗
I just have to do what's right. All I can tell you is that these big, powerful, very rich, very smart companies are going to be making massive contributions to communities, individual people within the community. And it's going to be really partnership. We talked about it. They're going to be forming partnerships with communities. They're going to have they're going to take something that people don't understand and they're going to let them understand it. But they're going to form partnerships within the communities. That's going to be so good for the people.
Unknown 7:27 ↗
Even as your supporters address the midterms. You talked about that our candidates for Congress right now, the Republicans in the House, our candidates and our incumbents are out in their communities right now as we speak communicating on this. They're saying we cannot lose the race to China. We cannot lose America's edge because it's important for every American worker, every American family for their safety, security, the future, the economy. So, but it has to be a balance. You have to take the community concerns in hand. That's what all of these folks agreed to. That's what the president articulated in the room today that you have to heed those concerns and you have to make commitments to them just as they're making as an industry. They will make it to the local communities. For example, we just codified about three weeks ago in the house. We passed with almost no dissenting votes the ratepayer protection act. That is a codification of President Trump's ratepayer protection pledge. They're guaranteeing that when they need energy resources for these AI infrastructure, super intelligence infrastructure systems that they will produce it themselves. They will put power back onto the grid. In most cases, they're going to take care of the local communities. Trust is earned. It's not automatic. And they understand that they're earning the trust.
Donald Trump 8:32 ↗
Understand what Mike is saying. That means financially as well. You know, in Louisiana, you probably heard they're having a big trouble, big problem with teacher pay, etc., etc. A company went in. I believe it's Meta in this case. And they're paying every teacher virtually in that either area or actually far beyond that area, Richland Parish into into the parish. They're paying every single teacher over $50,000 a piece. This is more money than they've ever seen.
Unknown 8:59 ↗
Mr. President, will you leave FBI enforcement to the FBI and the DOJ as you suggested? Isn't it too late then to prevent any damage?
Donald Trump 9:09 ↗
The damage done have it very well assessed. We also remember this. We have the smartest people in the world watching over each other. And we've done that. You had the smartest people. Look, I guess you could say different industries, but these are seriously high IQ people. You know, we used to deal with a lot of low IQ. These are seriously high IQ people, and they're really watching over each other.
Unknown 9:33 ↗
Mr. President, on the com, you mentioned that you have all found some common ground, but the leaders standing behind you have had some very serious concerns about AI. Even after meeting with them today, you are still calling this a hoax. So, why should the American people take note?
Donald Trump 9:45 ↗
It's a very serious. That's why I changed the name. Okay, a hoax sounds like, you know, when you're using the former name, but this name is now super intelligent. That's not a hoax. In fact, it's the exact opposite. What I am calling a hoax is what the Democrats do because they don't want to see it be successful because they think that's bad for Republicans. Okay? So, they don't want to see this tremendous surge of growth. We have growth and and by the way, we have a lot of car factories opening. We have all the medical companies, all the pharmaceutical companies, Pfizer just announced, Merck just announced, they're all announcing, everyone, they're all building master plans, not just the the SI, but what has happened and what's taking place right now is we have a level of growth that no country has ever seen before. We're going to have jobs like nobody's ever seen before. And you know, the numbers just came out. We have now the best poverty numbers, meaning the lowest number in terms of poverty, the best poverty numbers we've ever had. We have the best individual income numbers in the history of our country. We have the best crime numbers. We have the best crime numbers in the history of our country. And that's despite allowing 25 million people into our country through an open border of the Biden policy that could have destroyed the country. We got the murderers out. Large numbers. We're getting the rest of them out. We've done a great job.
Just so you know, one second. We have the most successful country in history. A piece of it is this, not all of it, because the car companies are doing better than they've ever done. The pharmaceutical companies, they're all building factories. You take a look at Eli Lilly, they're spending billion, tens of billions of dollars building plants for pharmaceuticals. Nobody's ever seen what's happened to our country. And what the Democrats are trying to do is stop it because they think it's bad politically for them. And on that they're probably right.
Unknown 12:01 ↗
Is Iran in your opinion about to give up, about to concede?
Donald Trump 12:04 ↗
Well, they're doing very poorly. I don't know if they're going to give up yet, but they'll give up. But, they're doing very poorly. You know, we took more oil out of the Hormuz Strait over the last couple of days than at any point in history, including long before we had the war to stop the nuclear weapon. And this is to stop the nuclear weapon. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
Unknown 12:28 ↗
This technology is advancing.
Donald Trump 12:36 ↗
Might do it. I think it's a good idea.
Unknown 12:39 ↗
Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, you senator, my friend from London, Mr. President, Mr. President, from London, a great British journalist here from Britain and the UK seems to want to use SI to control the population down on free speech. Do you see, thank you for the nodding, do you see this causing a problem between America and that part of the world?
Donald Trump 13:02 ↗
No, I think maybe just the opposite. It's going to open things up. That part of the world has a lot of problems right now. They're not growing. They're stifled. Europe is doing so poorly. And I don't like saying that.
Unknown 13:18 ↗
70 percent of Americans think the federal government is not doing enough in terms of AI. What is your message to them today when you're saying there don't need to be any more?
Donald Trump 13:25 ↗
When you say not doing enough, our companies are dominating the world.
Unknown 13:29 ↗
They think the federal government.
Donald Trump 13:31 ↗
I know. I know. But they're dominating China. They're dominating every. We want to keep it that way.
Unknown 13:37 ↗
You said that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapons, right? Why not South North Korea can't have nuclear weapons?
Donald Trump 13:45 ↗
Ah, that's interesting. You know why? Because you had a different president and they could have stopped him. He happens to be a friend of mine. Kim Jong-un, he's a friend of mine. He likes Trump, doesn't like a lot of other people. He I'm about the only person in the entire world that he likes and I like him. I get in a lot of heat when I say that. People say that's terrible. He does have a nuclear capacity, a large nuclear, pretty large nuclear, not like us, but he has a nuclear capacity. Kim Jong-un. And you know why? Because they had presidents that didn't do what I did.
Unknown 14:16 ↗
Mr. President, can I ask you about Mr. President on ICE?
Donald Trump 14:21 ↗
That could have been stopped. You know that. But they had presidents that weren't Trump and they didn't stop. You know what? As long as I'm around, he's going to be fine.
