Trump is taking a hands-off approach to AI regulation to maintain U.S. advantage over China before his summit with Xi Jinping, where AI safety will be discussed. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposes a three-stage pacing plan—third-party evaluators, democratic coordination, and cooperation with authoritarian regimes—and warns an OpenAI-style agent swarm could dominate the internet in 6–12 months. Anthropic is courting Nvidia as an anchor investor for a potential $100 billion IPO that could value the company near $2 trillion.
