Trump Rejects Further AI Regulation, Calls Push a 'Sick Conspiracy'

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States has already implemented sufficient safeguards to prevent catastrophic risks from artificial intelligence, and that further regulation is unnecessary. He dismissed the growing bipartisan effort to tighten AI oversight as a 'sick conspiracy' and blamed China for supporting the push. The comments came after technology leaders called for a slowdown in AI production over the weekend, a call that sent tech stocks sharply lower on Monday. Trump’s statement underscores the divide between the executive’s view and the industry’s caution, and it may delay legislative action on AI safety. The post also signals that the administration will likely resist new regulatory proposals, potentially leaving the current framework unchanged.
