Asked during an exclusive interview in Scotland here at his luxurious seaside golf resort Turnberry last week about a recent report the CEO of AI company Anthropic predicted AI will wipe out as many as 50 percent of entry-level jobs in the future, Trump argued that it will all “balance out” in the end. Trump said AI will make things “much more efficient” but that a sprawling new economy will emerge around the new technology.
“Basically they’re saying that things are going to be much more efficient and that’s good because we don’t have enough people,” Trump said when asked how he balances getting the United States at the forefront of the emerging AI field with job concerns for entry-level workers.
“It’s going to balance out, I think, perfectly just by nature because we don’t have enough people.
So they’re going to come out and they’re going to do this. We’re going to need robots, as an example. We’re going to need things like this to make our economy run because we do not have enough people. We have plants going up all over the United States like has never happened before. You know, this is the hottest I think the United States has ever been.
