AI bosses say that AI is growing too fast – level 2

18-09-2026 15:00

US President Donald Trump called AI safety fears a hoax and said the country must win the global AI race. He believes AI will bring economic growth bigger than oil or diamonds.

But many people and experts disagree on how to manage this new technology. OpenAI leader Sam Altman says people should trust tech companies, while Nvidia’s CEO believes businesses should control their own safety rules without new government laws. Some politicians warned that AI could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons.

Many critics worry that big companies want all the profits, but at the same time, ordinary people will be at risk. Experts argue that the US needs strict rules to protect people and set a good example for the rest of the world.

Difficult words: hoax (a plan to trick people), economic growth (when a country produces more things and services than in the past), profit (the money you have left after you pay all costs).
