Former President Donald Trump shared his mixed feelings on artificial intelligence with YouTuber Logan Paul Thursday, describing the technology as a "superpower" that writes "beautifully" while also calling its capabilities "alarming." His comments on Paul's podcast'Impaulsive' provide a window into how the 78 year old presidential candidate thinks about the rapidly-advancing technology, which 49% of Americans feel concerned about. Trump said he saw a deepfake video of himself promoting a product that was so convincing it caused him to question whether it was real. He went on to note his worry that the harms of deepfakes could be much greater, describing a scenario where a deepfake video of the President of the United States saying "we have just sent thirteen nuclear missiles…and they will hit their targets in 12 minutes and 59 seconds'' could cause a rival leader to preemptively initiate a retaliatory strike. Trump says he asked Elon Musk whether there would be any way for this hypothetical leader to discern the authenticity of the video; Musk is reported to have said "there is no way". The idea of misinformation increasing the risk of a nuclear war is not entirely hypothetical.
