Donald Trump asks when AI industry sought rules that could "drive them into oblivion and bankruptcy"

President Donald Trump on Monday used Truth Social to reject growing concern about artificial intelligence, expressing disbelief that firms in the field would welcome government restrictions that could harm their own businesses. His comments came during intense public debate after Jacob Coxton resigned from Anthropic on Sept. 8, alleging that Anthropic and OpenAI behaved recklessly; Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei later said many of those concerns were valid and called for limits on the technology. AI shares fell and politicians faced questions about their views. Trump earlier said a highly intelligent president was the only safeguard required. Vice President JD Vance said he was suspicious of companies seeking oversight, while the Pentagon promoted an AI-focused military.
