Donald Trump criticized Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for urging a slowdown in AI development, claiming only a strong, intelligent president can provide necessary guardrails. Amodei and U.S. AI leaders, including Sam Altman, called for a federal framework without awaiting antitrust exemptions or new laws. China’s Ministry of State Security warned that rapid AI advances threaten political and social security, raising concerns about cyber defenses and military use.
