Leading AI bodies in the US are flagging the idea of an industry standards body when it comes to the development of the technology. 

But U.S. President Donald Trump is again dismissing the concerns around the speed of development - claiming there is a "sick conspiracy" against the technology. 

In a post to Truth Social, he said the "only control" needed is a "strong and smart president". 

Dr Sue Keay is an expert in robotics, A-I and automation. She says there should be an independent body to test AI models...and that the U.S. could actually look to China in this area.
