Trump rejects AI guardrails, says the only guardrails needed are a 'High IQ president'

Trump said the government already has enough power over AI companies and accused critics of a conspiracy to slow U.S. development.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump rejected calls for new AI regulation, dismissing industry-led efforts as a "SICK conspiracy" and asserting his own leadership provides sufficient oversight for the technology.
  • Following recent fears of rogue AI agents, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a 3,800-word essay Saturday urging slower development and independent safety checks, echoed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
  • Trump targeted Amodei, labeling him a "perfect little angel" while claiming the administration wields "tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power" to prevent firms from performing "bad, or potentially bad" actions.
  • Vice President JD Vance echoed skepticism Monday, questioning whether tech firms' calls for regulation act as a "Trojan horse" to benefit established companies, while market analysts noted tech stocks slipped.
  • Beijing officials disparaged the warnings as "fearmongering" from a "Cold War playbook," as the administration maintains that outpacing China in AI remains a critical national security and economic imperative.
