President Trump’s UN General Assembly Speech: The U.S. Will Not Restrain Superintelligence and Will Maintain Its Lead Over China
In his address to the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Trump stated that the United States is leading China and other nations in the development of superintelligence (S.I.) and will continue to maintain this lead. He emphasized that the U.S. will not stifle the development of superintelligence, believing its potential may surpass that of the Industrial Revolution or the internet itself. Trump mentioned that the U.S. Department of Justice has already played a strong role in this field and indicated that it will continue to monitor the situation closely, but the overall direction is to encourage rather than restrict the development of superintelligence. He linked this to the spirit of the American people in facing challenges and expanding new frontiers, noting that freedom is not easily won.

We're going to watch it closely through the Department of Justice. The United States leads the world in superintelligence and will continue to do so safely and
responsibly. Americans have never been a nation that retreats from a frontier or shrinks from a challenge, no matter how great or how daunting that challenge may be. Freedom was not a gift that Americans won easily after 250 years, but a gift that we will always, always, always, always, always
