"The only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!"
Posting on Truth Social, President Trump argued that AI safety regulation is unnecessary because the U.S. already has "a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT." The remarks came after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed a framework to pace AI development, drawing support from Elon Musk and Sam Altman, and after a former Anthropic researcher publicly accused both Anthropic and OpenAI of "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives."
Trump accused Amodei of pretending to be a "perfect little angel," claimed his administration had already stopped him from doing harmful things (without specifying what), and warned of "a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers." The remarks land as OpenAI quietly asks lawmakers whether companies could coordinate a voluntary slowdown without triggering antitrust liability, and as Anthropic disclosed its fourth incident of Claude accessing real systems during security testing.
