Trump: 'AI Out of Control? I'm Not Worried'

President Donald Trump dismissed concerns about artificial intelligence spiraling out of control, stating he is not worried despite reports of OpenAI, Anthropic, and security researchers investigating tens of thousands of incidents involving problematic behavior by frontier AI models. Trump told Fox News that AI is a massive sector where the US leads China, with billions being invested in infrastructure, and argued that companies should fix any issues rather than abandon the industry. He reiterated that new regulations limiting AI development would risk allowing China to surpass the United States, comparing the technology's potential to surpassing the Industrial Revolution and being bigger than the internet. Trump and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei are scheduled for a private dinner at the White House on Sunday evening, their first in-person meeting, amid tensions between the administration and the company. Anthropic was recently placed on the Pentagon's blacklist, and Amodei has called for slowing AI development to prioritize safety tools.
