The US president said artificial intelligence would be central to global competition, while industry leaders highlighted safety concerns.
Donald Trump vowed not to restrict AI development as executives from leading technology companies urged caution and emphasized safety. He described the US-China AI race as a competition in which the United States was ahead.
Donald Trump said the US government would not limit the development of artificial intelligence, declaring at the unveiling of the America.gov chatbot that he would “never stifle” the technology’s growth. He said the United States was leading China in the race to develop AI and that there would be no “second place.”
The remarks came as AI executives, including Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei and OpenAI president Greg Brockman, met with Trump at the White House. Amodei has called for leading firms to slow development, while OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman said the company was pacing its progress and focusing increasingly on safety.
