Trump tries to shut down AI regulation push

President Donald Trump sought to shut down momentum for additional U.S. AI regulation on Monday, arguing the country has already done enough to prevent catastrophic risks. His comment follows calls over the weekend from technology leaders to slow AI production, which contributed to tech stocks tumbling on Monday. Trump made the point in a post on Truth Social, saying the only control or “guardrails” AI needs is a “STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT,” adding that the U.S. has that “in spades.” The short statement frames the administration’s stance against further regulatory expansion while the broader industry debates pacing and safety measures.
