Trump downplays AI risks

AI company chiefs have called for projects to slow down.

US President Donald Trump has said 鈥榥egative forces鈥� are 鈥榖ringing up things that won鈥檛 happen鈥� in the context of AI risks. It follows a former Anthropic researcher saying 鈥榯here is a strong chance that we could all die in the immediate future鈥� due to the current speed of development. We hear from US congresswoman Lori Trahan about her push for AI regulation.

Also in the programme: Exit polls suggest a neck-and-neck race in Sweden's election; and a look at how Celine Dion鈥檚 first full concert in six years went, following years of the singer battling a neurological disorder.
