Trump says no need for more AI regulation, slams Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei

President Trump has stated that there is no need for further regulation of artificial intelligence in the US. He claims that the country already has sufficient measures in place to prevent AI from posing catastrophic risks.

Trump made these comments on Truth Social, saying that a "STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT" is the only control AI needs, and that the US has this in abundance. According to Politico EU, his statement comes after technology leaders called for a slowdown in AI production over the weekend, which caused tech stocks to tumble on Monday.
