Trump Dismisses AI Safety Alarm, Says US Already Has Tools to Police Industry

President Donald Trump dismissed concerns from technology industry leaders about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence, stating that the U.S. already possesses sufficient "CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power" to oversee AI companies. He criticized calls for an industry slowdown as a "sick conspiracy" that would only benefit China in the AI race. This comes after several AI executives, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, called for regulations and independent audits of advanced AI tools.
