- Obama slammed Trump's handling of AI policy during a Friday interview at Colgate University, framing his criticism around 'doomsday' warnings from some in the tech industry about AI's potential existential threat to humanity.
- Trump became the target of the critique as Obama invoked existential-risk warnings from tech industry figures to challenge the administration's AI approach.
