Top tech executives met with President Donald Trump this week to discuss the future of artificial intelligence amid growing concerns over AI models losing control. Trump said the technology is transforming the economy and that the U.S. cannot afford to lose its lead over China. Even though debates about AI safety continue, they have not prevented the technology's growth, Silverado Policy Accelerator chair Dmitri Alperovitch says. “AI is not safe and probably will never be safe 100% because it's nondeterministic. It's random,” he told Compass Points host Nick Schifrin. Compass Points from PBS News analyzes prominent international affairs topics and America’s role in a shifting world, breaking down global conflicts, rising tensions, and their implications for U.S. interests.
