What happened
President Donald Trump stated that he does not worry about AI expanding beyond human control, arguing the technology presents a massive economic opportunity for the United States. Trump claimed that any safety issues stemming from AI should be resolved by the companies that created them, adding that the U.S. Department of Justice could step in to enforce compliance. Meanwhile, Trump announced plans to host Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei at a private White House dinner. Trump also claimed that China shares his view that AI development should not be slowed.
