Trump says a strong, smart president is the only "guardrail" AI needs
TL;DR
President Trump lashed out at calls for new AI guardrails and protections, arguing that AI only needs a strong and smart president and warning AI critics to beware. He continues to position himself against AI safety regulation as a growing number of AI leaders and CEOs call for slower development and better rules to keep humanity safe. "Whoever wins AI, wins," Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that the US is leading China and everyone else and will continue to do so.
Nauti's Take
The message gives US providers a clear advantage, since tougher federal rules now look unlikely for the time being and development projects continue without new requirements. The challenge is that safety becomes a question of political power, and the warning to critics could intimidate researchers and whistleblowers.
Legally, little changes for teams in Europe, while choosing US models is a good reason to look closely at voluntary safety commitments.
