US President Donald Trump says that fears about AI are not real. He wants the US to win the AI race. It will make the country strong.

Some tech leaders say that people should trust them to make AI safe. They do not want new laws. But many politicians want strong safety rules. Some politicians say that AI can be very dangerous, even more than nuclear bombs.

Some people believe that big companies only want to make money. Normal people will take all the risks. Experts say that we need good rules today to keep everyone safe in the future.

Difficult words: fear (when you are scared of something), trust (to believe that something is good or safe), risk (a chance that something bad or dangerous may happen).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
