‘Trojan Horse’: Trump And Vance Suggest Conspiracy As AI Leaders Suddenly Want Slowdown
Vice President JD Vance expressed skepticism about AI leaders asking the government for regulation, calling it a 'Trojan horse' suggesting hidden motives or a scheme to cement dominance and exclude smaller competitors.
Tech leaders including Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, and Elon Musk have requested slower AI development and increased government oversight for safety.
President Donald Trump stated he would serve as a sufficient guardrail against rogue AI, warned of a 'sick conspiracy' against AI benefiting China, and emphasized U.S. regulatory strength.
Vance and Trump emphasized that the U.S. is in a global AI race with China and must regulate smartly while maintaining leadership and technological advances.
The US tech bosses are calling for better security for AI. But President Trump is determined to win the tech race, Beijing is appeased. What chances are there that the big AI powers will still agree.
