the AI company Anthropic<\/a>\u00a0\u201cfrom doing bad, or potentially bad\u201d things. Anthropic has endured an uncomfortable relationship with the Trump administration, with the Pentagon trying to label the company\u2019s models a security risk and a temporary ban of one of its more advanced models.<\/p>\nAmodei published a 3,800-word essay on Saturday that called for slower development of AI. Microsoft on Monday published its own code of conduct to ensure that humans control AI. The actions come after a series of warnings by AI experts about the technologies\u2019 capabilities and the July 2026 cyberattack by OpenAI models on the AI company Hugging Face.<\/p>\n
But the president has opposed such efforts to constrain AI and claims that doing so could cause China to eclipse America on AI.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
The president has long resisted efforts for greater government oversight of AI, embracing his philosophy going back to 2016 of \u201cI alone can fix it.\u201d He returned to the White House last year by revoking a Biden administration executive order on AI oversight and only providing a fuller order of his own more than 16 months later this past June.<\/p>\n
The prospect of slower AI buildout led stocks to slip in Monday morning trading, as demand for advanced computer chips and construction materials for data centers could fall. But Trump\u2019s frustration comes as AI has also emerged as a political liability ahead of November\u2019s midterm elections, with many voters opposing the construction of additional data centers and expressing worries that AI could lead to job losses and undermine the education of children.<\/p>\n
Rahm Emanuel, the former Chicago mayor, Democratic congressman and White House chief of staff, said on Saturday that the Anthropic CEO\u2019s essay was \u201can admission that we\u2019re driving down a dark, winding road on wet pavement with the headlights off. And where\u2019s President Trump? Looks like he nodded off again. It\u2019s time to turn the lights on, put both hands on the wheel, and regain control before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n
But the administration has repeatedly sought to minimize the risks being highlighted by AI companies.<\/p>\n
Vice President JD Vance told reporters Monday morning about AI, \u201cI don\u2019t think Americans should be scared of anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vance, speaking as he prepared to fly to Kansas for a midterm election campaign event, said that the Trump administration is concerned about AI but wants to make sure it is regulating the technology smartly, warning that the U.S. is in an AI arms race against China.<\/p>\n
\u201cPersonally, I feel a little bit weird about the fact that you have so many frontier AI tech companies kind of coming to the government and begging the government to regulate them. It feels a little bit to me like a bit of a Trojan horse,\u201d Vance said. \u201cSo, I think we just have to be careful about this.\u201d<\/p>\n
