Donald Trump says AI requires "a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT" as he opposes stricter rules

President Donald Trump has rejected concerns about artificial intelligence’s dangers and opposed calls from technology leaders for stricter supervision, including Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and SpaceXAI’s Elon Musk. He has expressed concern that a slower American pace would benefit competitors in China, and he restated his position in a Truth Social post. His approach differs from that of U.K. First Secretary Louise Haigh, who told the TUC congress in Brighton that AI poses major national-security risks without adequate protections and said Britain would work with international partners. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said people should have confidence in British safety measures while avoiding complacency or exaggeration. A parliamentary committee has called the AI Security Institute to testify on October 13 amid growing public concern, highlighting a transatlantic divide over governing rapidly advancing AI.
