  "account": "On Sunday, at his Irish golf resort, Donald Trump was asked if the AI industry should curb its development or face additional regulation. The President responded that \"very negative forces\" were creating \"things that won't happen.\" He acknowledged the need for guardrails, but emphasized that America's lead in AI could determine the winner in the AI race. In a Monday post on Truth Social, Trump reiterated his stance, stating that only a strong and intelligent (high IQ) President is needed for AI regulation. He claimed the Trump Administration had already restricted AI's potential for harm and pledged to continue doing so. Trump also accused the AI sector of engaging in a conspiracy against the U.S. and China, asserting that the U.S. is currently leading the AI competition. While Trump's approach to AI regulation mirrors his usual risk-averse strategy, demonstrated by his comments about the Russia-Ukraine war, he is opting to continue the AI gamble.",
