Trump condemns ‘sick conspiracy’ against AI, says he is only guardrail needed
US President Donald Trump downplayed growing concerns about artificial intelligence on Monday, claiming America already has guardrails to regulate the industry and warning that casting doubt on development only benefits China.
“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Trump wrote on social media.
“We already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies! There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China.”
In recent months, the US president has accused China of amplifying anti-AI and anti-data centre rhetoric, a sentiment he appeared to echo in Monday’s post.
