In an interview with Breitbart, Trump stated he has “always been concerned about the social breakdown of our culture caused by technology. I think the increased dependence and addiction to electronic devices is unhealthy. Of course, these trends tend to swing like a pendulum, so I am confident we will find a balance along the way.”

As for artificial intelligence, it can either be a “scalpel or a chainsaw,” he said. “Creators and users alike should always consider the ethical and moral consequences of all activities. If we lose our way morally, we are doomed as a society.”

We’ve covered 14 use cases for artificial intelligence in the Internet of Things, including many in health care such as robots making medical decisions. A copy of the white paper can be found here.
