Trump makes it clear his power is becoming entwined with AI

I'm your host, Blake Montgomery, writing to you as I sit under yellowing leaves in New York. Donald Trump made a series of moves over the past week that make it clear his power is becoming synonymous with artificial intelligence. The new tight alliances between the White House, the Pentagon, US intelligence agencies and AI companies loom ominously over governments and companies, particularly in Europe, that rely on American AI. Last Tuesday, Trump and six AI CEOs signed what he called a "morally binding" agreement to put controls on artificial intelligence. The vague agreement stipulates a framework for what Trump called "tremendous self-policing", reiterating his point that AI companies can act as their own watchmen.
