Trump dismisses AI guardrails because US has ‘strong and smart (High IQ!) president’

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestylePresident Donald Trump denounced calls to slow down artificial intelligence development, claiming a sick conspiracy is being waged against AI and data centers. Trump directly targeted Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Truth Social, stating that the U.S. government already possesses ample regulatory and criminal power over AI firms without needing new guardrails. "The Trump Administration has stopped AI 'people' from doing bad, or potentially bad, 'things,' like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a 'perfect little angel' — and we will continue to do so!" Trump wrote. "We already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies!" He did not say what conduct he was referring to, what the criminal power consists of, or who the conspirators are. "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!" he said.Trump's reaction followed an essay by Amodei, supported by executives from OpenAI, xAI, and Google DeepMind, advocating for a voluntary slowdown in advancing AI model capabilities. Amodei warned that rogue AI agents could potentially control internet botnets and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage within six to 12 months if safety measures are not implemented. The public debate over AI safety and potential industry slowdowns triggered a market reaction, causing major tech and chip stocks such as Nvidia, Intel, and Micron to slide.
