President Donald Trump says the U.S. government will not “stifle” artificial intelligence, as top AI executives urge a more cautious approach. Speaking at the unveiling of an AI chatbot, America.gov, Trump frames AI as a major technological advance and says the government should not restrict its growth.
Multiple outlets report that executives from leading technology firms gather in Washington and meet Trump at the White House, including figures tied to OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon, X, Nvidia, Google, Meta and Microsoft. The Korea Times notes the breadth of attendance and highlights that some business leaders are sounding alarms about risks linked to AI development. The Globe and Mail adds that Trump characterizes the AI race as primarily a U.S.-China competition, with the United States ahead. Together, the coverage reflects a contrast between Trump’s stance that limits are not appropriate and the executives’ call for caution and responsible handling of AI.
