Donald Trump declared that a “STRONG AND SMART” leader like himself is all America needs to control AI.

In a post on his Truth Social site, Trump claims there is a “SICK conspiracy” against AI and data centers as even leaders in the AI industry are calling for greater checks on AI development.

“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 wrote. “The Trump Administration has stopped AI “people” from doing bad, or potentially bad, “things,“ like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a “perfect little angel” – and we will continue to do so! We already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies!”

He added: “There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China. WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS! We are leading China and all others, and will continue to do so. Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, has called for AI’s advancement to be slowed down to ensure public safety.

Amodei’s statement comes after Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon claimed that the technology has the potential to “kill all of humanity” within the decade in his resignation letter.

“I resigned from Anthropic today,” Coxon wrote. “I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.”

He went on to warn that “the people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.”
