President Donald Trump said Monday that the Department of Justice and other U.S. law enforcement bodies will rein in risks associated with artificial intelligence “if we have to.”

“We will be careful,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

Trump’s mention of the DOJ as a backstop came as he again downplayed potential dangers from AI, which he has repeatedly called a hoax.

The president has touted the development of AI by American companies as a competitive advantage for the United States, which he wants to maintain.

“Whoever wins AI, WINS!” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

“We are leading now over China, and everyone else, and I’m going to keep it that way!” he wrote. “I’m not going to stifle Growth, of something that will be bigger than the Industrial Revolution, or the Internet, itself.”

“We will be careful, and that’s why we have the Department of Justice, and other Law Enforcement bodies, that will rein things in if we have to, but I will only encourage AI or, SI (SUPER INTELLIGENCE)!” Trump wrote.
