China bristles at Anthropic CEO’s ‘fearmongering’ about its AI development
President Trump has said he does not want to slow artificial intelligence development, citing concerns about America losing its competitive edge to China. Tech industry leaders have called for slowing AI development due to safety risks, but Trump and Chinese officials have both dismissed these calls—Trump because of competition with China, and China because it views the warnings as attempts to hinder its progress. Trump later clarified he is not downplaying AI risks entirely, though his focus remains on maintaining American technological superiority.
