White House technology advisor Michael Kratsios told AI companies concerned about unsafe models to simply stop development, saying they don't need government permission to pause. Kratsios, director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, made the remarks on Fox News Sunday, pushing back against calls for regulation. He noted the US government has tools to address issues as they arise. The comments follow AI leaders like Anthropic's CEO urging safety measures after recent hacking incidents. President Trump supports accelerating AI development and will discuss the technology with China's leader this week.
