Donald Trump says "SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers" amid AI regulation debate
“There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China. WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS!”
Reported September 19, 2026 by ibtimes.com. Checked word for word against that report.
President Donald Trump said Saturday he plans an “AI Force” with an AI czar to monitor artificial intelligence amid rising calls for regulation. In Truth Social posts, he dismissed safety concerns as baseless, alleged a campaign against AI and data centers that only China benefits from, and said the AI competition is decisive. His stance followed an essay by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urging slower frontier development for safety, warning AI agents could soon dominate the internet; Elon Musk and Sam Altman endorsed it. Senator Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon spoke at a Washington conference on AI dangers. A Politico poll found 63% of Americans saw at least a moderate risk AI could destroy humanity. China has rejected U.S. regulation appeals as fearmongering, but its state security minister warned generative AI threatens political security.
