Trump says US has tools to keep AI safe, concerns are part of 'sick conspiracy'

On Monday, President Donald Trump stated that the United States already possesses the necessary guardrails to regulate and prosecute artificial intelligence companies. Speaking on the matter, Trump appeared to play down concerns regarding the misuse of AI that had been expressed by industry leaders over the preceding weekend, characterizing related anxieties as part of a 'sick conspiracy'.

Trump maintained that the existing tools available to the U.S. are sufficient to keep artificial intelligence safe. His remarks directly address and dismiss the cautions raised by prominent figures within the technology sector concerning potential risks and the governance of AI technologies.
