President Trump says he would agree to “guardrails” for artificial intelligence and warns against slowing AI development. Speaking publicly, he argues that reports about imminent dangers of AI are being amplified by “negative forces.”
In the accounts, Trump presents a cautious position: he signals openness to limits or protections (“guardrails”) while maintaining that there is no need to pause or significantly slow progress. NPR reports that while he opposes slowing down AI, he does not rule out some regulatory or practical controls. The Washington Times similarly reports Trump’s claim that concern campaigns about AI do not match what he expects to occur.
Across both outlets, the shared themes are Trump’s use of the phrase “negative forces,” his view that dire predictions are overstated, and his stated willingness to consider guardrails even as he favors continued AI advancement.
