Trump Calls AI Risks a 'Hoax,' Says There Is a 'SICK Conspiracy' Against AI and Data Centers | Chattanooga Times Free Press

Tech leaders urged slower development and stronger oversight as Anthropic warned AI could cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage without guardrails.

  • President Donald Trump on Monday denounced calls for artificial intelligence regulation as a 'SICK conspiracy,' claiming only China benefits from limiting the technology while the United States leads global innovation.
  • Tech leaders including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and SpaceXAI's Elon Musk have advocated for greater government regulation. Trump has long resisted such oversight, revoking a Biden administration executive order on AI.
  • A 3,800-word essay by Amodei warns that artificial intelligence swarms could seize control of the internet within 6 to 12 months, with damages potentially reaching hundreds of billions of dollars without necessary guardrails.
  • The administration has issued a temporary ban on one of Anthropic's advanced models, while the Pentagon attempted to label the company a security risk amid tensions over AI regulation.
  • Political concerns over artificial intelligence present a liability ahead of November midterm elections, with voters opposing construction of additional Data Centers and worrying about job losses and education impacts.
