Trump calls the people asking to slow AI down a negative force

Donald Trump said the U.S. must stay ahead of China in AI and rejected calls to slow development, labeling the push for guardrails a “negative force.” He acknowledged that the administration could impose safety measures but did not specify any. Industry leaders, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI, have already committed to third-party safety evaluations and antitrust waivers to coordinate on AI alignment.
