President Trump is rejecting calls from experts to impose safety restrictions on artificial intelligence development, saying such guardrails would harm the United States' competitive position.

Trump has instead argued that strong presidential leadership is the only safeguard needed and has dismissed safety concerns as a hoax. His administration has accused Democrats of using the AI debate for political purposes.
