During a visit to Ireland, Trump stated that while there are \"negative forces\" raising concerns about the risks associated with AI, his primary focus is on maintaining America's superiority over China in AI technology.

Both Altman and Musk supported Amodei's plan, highlighting the potential dangers of unregulated AI to humanity.\n\nSenator Bernie Sanders has urged President Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, to negotiate a treaty on AI regulation during their upcoming meeting.
