Trump says AI risks can be managed, signals openness to guardrails
Donald Trump said he was open to working with Democrats but opposed regulations that could leave the US in 'a deep second position' to China.
In an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, US President Donald Trump expressed his belief that artificial intelligence risks can be managed, while signaling a willingness to consider safeguards. When asked if the US should accept the risks posed by AI to stay ahead of China, Trump stated that the dangers were manageable and indicated a possible openness to work with Democrats on implementing such measures.
He commented, "I don't mind guardrails," adding that he did not wish for regulations to place the United States in a "deep second position" behind China, which he claimed has no comparable restrictions. Although Trump has historically preferred to let technology companies self-regulate rather than impose stringent government controls, his recent remarks hint at a potential shift towards accepting safeguards, though the specifics remain uncertain.
