Arabic version: ترامب يرفض الدعوات إلى إبطاء تطوير الذكاء الاصطناعي

According to Cnbc, President Donald Trump on Monday rejected growing calls for stronger artificial-intelligence regulation, criticizing concerns about data centers and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s appeal to slow the development of AI models.

In a series of Truth Social posts, Trump called fears that AI could destroy the world a “Hoax” and a “scam.” He also dismissed opposition to data centers, saying criticism reflected the United States’ lead over other countries. Trump said, “Don’t kill the Golden Goose!” and argued that the government already has substantial criminal and regulatory authority over AI companies.

Amodei on Saturday published a blog post, “We Must Pace the Frontier,” which urged a slower approach to advanced AI development to reduce the risk that something goes seriously wrong. Other technology leaders, including OpenAI chief Sam Altman and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, said over the weekend that they agreed with calls to pace the development of AI models.

The Trump administration has broadly backed rapid industry growth and data-center construction in the United States, seeking what it views as a decisive technological advantage over China. Trump said Saturday that the U.S. was leading China in AI and added, “whoever wins AI wins.” White House AI czar David Sacks said companies could pace development themselves and argued that market forces and product-liability exposure already impose constraints.

Congressional action before the Nov. 3 midterm elections appears unlikely. House members are scheduled to leave Washington on Thursday and remain in their districts through October. House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Sunday that rushing into AI regulation could cause the United States to lose its race with China, while calling for responsible handling of the technology without smothering American innovation.
