Original German Read in English

Washington - US President Donald Trump dismissed calls for stricter regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), stating that the country already possesses sufficient safeguards. In a post on his platform Truth Social, Trump asserted that only a "SMART AND INTELLIGENT" (high IQ) President is needed to regulate AI, arguing that the US already has such a leader.

Trump described warnings about the technology's dangers as a "deception" and claimed it was benefiting China. Leading AI companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI, led by Elon Musk, had previously demanded more government oversight, which resulted in stock declines for AI-related companies. Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, had specifically called for independent testing of the most advanced AI models.

Trump accused Amodei of hypocrisy and personally attacked him. The dispute between the Trump administration and Anthropic stems from the US Department of Defense's exclusion of the company from certain military contracts due to its refusal to use AI models for domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons.
