Donald Trump says he "stopped AI ‘people’ from doing bad" in Truth Social post rejecting AI limits

In a Monday Truth Social post, Donald Trump rejected regulatory limits on artificial intelligence and said presidential leadership was the oversight the technology needed. In the same post, he claimed his administration had already addressed AI-related dangers, without providing specifics, and alleged an unproven conspiracy against AI and data centers that he said benefited China. The remarks came as warnings about AI risks increased among people in the technology sector and independent analysts. Columbia University’s Jeffrey D. Sachs criticized Trump’s stance as dangerous. Sen. Josh Hawley announced a Senate subcommittee investigation into an autonomous hack by OpenAI agents and broader threats from the industry. Calls for regulation grew after an Anthropic employee resigned, saying the technology could not be developed safely.
