US Vice President JD Vance criticizes calls for global AI regulation and urges companies to stop developing advanced systems rather than seeking government oversight. In remarks directed at AI leader Dario Amodei, co-founder of Anthropic, Vance says that if developers are “building Frankenstein,” they should not then approach the government to argue for regulation.
The comments come as Amodei revisits recent warnings about advanced AI risks. He has called on Washington to coordinate AI governance, including efforts that involve China, according to reporting. Other coverage frames Vance’s position as a rebuttal to the idea that regulation is needed only after major progress has already been made.
Across outlets, the central point is that Vance opposes blanket or externally coordinated regulation tied to AI safety concerns, while he directs his message toward major developers building frontier models.
