Politico reports House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed warnings that AI could destroy civilization, likening recent alarms from AI labs to what he called left-wing exaggeration on climate change. At a Tuesday press conference responding to President Trump’s remarks, Johnson said when the president calls the warnings a 'hoax' he means a recurring pattern of 'manufacturing a disaster, media hype, social amplification' and that claims people will be 'dead in 10 years' are false.
