Trump Calls Push for More AI Oversight a ‘SICK Conspiracy’
US president says existing regulations on artificial intelligence are sufficient and warns that tighter rules could let China win the global AI race.
US President Donald Trump has dismissed calls for stronger government oversight of artificial intelligence, describing such demands as a “SICK conspiracy,” according to Al Jazeera.
Trump argued that current regulations on AI are already adequate, the report said, and that additional restrictions could hinder US competitiveness in the technology sector.
The president warned that imposing further controls on AI development could allow China to gain an advantage in the global race to lead the industry, Al Jazeera reported.
The remarks come amid ongoing debate in Washington and other capitals over how to balance innovation in artificial intelligence with concerns about safety, security and the technology’s rapid expansion.
Al Jazeera did not specify what prompted Trump’s comments or identify the individuals or groups he was responding to.
