“And citizens are increasingly fearful about advances in artificial intelligence. That’s no wonder after recent warnings from tech chiefs that their brainchild could threaten humanity.”

“Yet on this trio of issues, and many others, Trump is offering a program that is exactly opposite of what most Americans want.”
