‘SICK conspiracy going on against AI’: Trump bids to shut down regulation push

President Donald Trump has spoken out against efforts to regulate artificial intelligence, saying that he himself is a sufficient "guardrail" against the technology's potential risks. In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that the US has already done enough to prevent AI from posing catastrophic risks and that any further regulation is part of a "SICK conspiracy" against AI and data centers. According to Trump, China is the only beneficiary of this conspiracy.

Trump's comments come as technology leaders have called for the industry to slow down the production of artificial intelligence, citing concerns over its rapid development. This has led to a decline in tech stocks. Trump, however, believes that a "STRONG AND SMART" president is all the control AI needs.

The issue has sparked a debate about the need for regulation in the AI industry. Trump appears to be prioritizing the US tech race with China over concerns about AI's potential risks. CBS News reports that Trump dismissed industry leaders' concerns over the risks of rapid AI development.
