‘If you’re building Frankenstein, stop’: JD Vance dismisses calls for AI regulation
TL;DR
US vice-president JD Vance has dismissed calls for global regulation of AI safety risks, telling developers of the most advanced models: "If you're building Frankenstein, stop. " His remarks were aimed at Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei, who has urged Washington to coordinate control of AI systems, including with China. Vance said companies creating such systems should not come to the government asking for regulation.
Nauti's Take
The clear message from Washington at least gives US developers predictability and keeps barriers low for new labs. The problem: if the government leaves safety entirely to companies, there is no shared standard, especially for risks that ignore national borders.
For European companies the EU AI Act remains the more relevant framework, and the gap between US and EU policy is likely to widen.
