AI models like ChatGPT and others produced a formula echoing President Trump's trade policies, indicating a possible AI influence in crucial economic decisions. Critics have raised alarms over the superficial nature of AI's approach to complex economic problems, fearing it could have serious repercussions, particularly on consumer costs. Despite the similarities between AI outputs and official calculations, the White House has not confirmed whether AI was utilized in this context, leaving some uncertainty around the decision-making process.
