Democratic leader calls out Trump family’s ‘financial stake’ in AI industry

Georgia Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff accused President Donald Trump of being compromised on artificial intelligence regulation because of his family's financial stake in the sector, pointing to Donald Trump Jr.'s partnership in 1789 Capital, a venture firm with heavy investments in AI laboratories and data centers. The comments followed Trump's rejection of AI safety warnings, which he dismissed as a conspiracy that could give China a competitive edge. Ossoff called for Big Tech leaders to testify before Congress, allow laboratory inspections, and take measures against AI-driven bioterrorism threats, and urged voters to support Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.
