President Donald Trump dismissed growing concern about artificial intelligence risks after Anthropic PBC Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei called for the industry to slow development and coordinate globally. Trump said Sunday that the United States is ahead of China in AI and argued that the country that wins the technology will prevail, while also saying safeguards can be added. OpenAI chief Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who runs xAI Corp., endorsed Amodei's proposal. Amodei said Anthropic would introduce measures including third-party evaluators, an approach Altman also supported. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said the proposal could provide a model for private-sector safeguards and described AI safety as a solvable problem. The debate comes as US opposition to AI grows over data-center demands, higher electricity bills and possible job losses, making the technology a central issue in the November midterm elections. Investors are also questioning whether huge spending on AI and related infrastructure will generate sufficient returns, leaving highly valued technology-linked shares vulnerable to selloffs.
