US President Trump dismisses new AI guardrails as a conspiracy

US President Donald Trump dismissed calls for government oversight on artificial intelligence by tech executives as a 'SICK conspiracy' on Monday.

Trump asserted that his presence in the Oval Office is sufficient guardrail for AI development and claimed that restrictions would cause the US to lose ground to China.

The remarks pushed back against recent safety essays from tech leaders such as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calling for slower AI development and stricter oversight.
