Trump dismisses idea of new AI guardrails | AP News
As usual, Trump is arrogantly, stupidly on the wrong side of responsibility.
Without guardrails, competition will push AI into dangerous territory. Expecting highly competitive AI companies with untold billions at stake to self-moderate is beyond naive.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday that he is a sufficient guardrail against rogue artificial intelligence, claiming that any efforts to limit the technology was part of a "SICK conspiracy."
"The only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" Trump posted on social media.
The president specifically said that the administration has already stopped the AI company Anthropic "from doing bad, or potentially bad" things.
Trump pushed back against calls by tech leaders at Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft and others to have greater regulation of AI to ensure it is developed in ways that promote safety, address legal liability and preserve national security.
But the president has opposed such efforts and claims that doing so could cause China to eclipse America on AI.
"There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China," Trump said.

Trump does not care what happens down the road with AI because he knows he will not be around.
Does anyone really think he has a clue what it even is?
I would be amazed if Trump understood anything about the technology itself. He only sees $$$.
His only experience with technology is when he is sitting on his toilet at 2 am letting his thumbs do his talking.
This will bite him in the ass sooner than he thinks.
Not to worry folks, Trump has a pact with the Kanamits ... y'all will be burgers sauteed in fatty Ferengi juice.
Trump is afraid that in some way China might actually surpass the USA?
