Trump Rejects AI Slowdown Calls, Emphasizes US-China Race Amid Global Safety Debate
US President Donald Trump dismissed calls from AI leaders like Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Elon Musk to slow AI development, emphasizing the need for the US to maintain its lead over China. Trump claimed existing government powers and strong presidential oversight suffice as AI safeguards, labeling concerns about AI risks and regulatory efforts as a "sick conspiracy" benefiting China. Meanwhile, China criticized Amodei's slowdown proposal as a "Cold War playbook" aimed at curbing its AI progress, urging open and inclusive AI development amid growing global debate on AI safety and governance.
