PRESIDENT.", "body_md": "Vice President **JD Vance** has put the responsibility for artificial intelligence risks squarely on the companies building the technology. During an appearance connected to the All-In Podcast, Vance pushed back against calls for government involvement and used **Frankenstein’s** monster as a warning to AI developers.\n\n## Why JD Vance warned about controlling artificial intelligence development\n\nThe remarks followed a recent warning from Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei, who urged AI companies to slow the pace of development and called for Washington to help coordinate international oversight.\n\nVance addressed that argument while speaking with Chamath Palihapitiya, questioning why companies would build increasingly powerful systems and then seek a global structure to manage the consequences (via [HuffPost](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/vance-ai-stop-building-frankenstein_n_6aaad853e4b0288deb0e5214)).\n\nVance said companies should take responsibility for the systems they create rather than immediately turning to Washington for regulation. “If you’re building Frankenstein, stop,” he said. If developers have already released technology they cannot easily contain, he argued that they should instead create defensive tools capable of countering those risks.\n\nThe vice president also said he does not view Amodei’s concerns as “cynical.” He described the Anthropic co-founder as someone who genuinely believes the industry needs to address potential dangers.\n\nAt the same time, Vance pointed to a situation involving an Anthropic model’s cyberhacking capabilities, arguing that companies seeking protection from such tools should have access to defenses against them.\n\nVance’s comments came shortly after President Donald Trump offered a markedly different framing of AI fears. In a [Truth Social post](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117269745153543631), Trump called warnings about AI taking over the world and destroying humanity a “HOAX.” \n\nHe also described artificial intelligence as a potentially enormous economic engine and said the technology needs a qualified and eligible president rather than traditional guardrails. “The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades,” Trump wrote.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/jd-vance-warns-ai-developers-not-to-create-frankenstein-technology", "canonical_source": "https://www.realitytea.com/2026/09/17/jd-vance-ai-frankenstein-anthropic-slow-down-instructions/", "published_at": "2026-09-17 06:28:10+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-17 06:54:19.680004+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy", "ai-safety", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["JD Vance", "Dario Amodei", "Anthropic", "Donald Trump", "All-In Podcast", "Chamath Palihapitiya", "Truth Social", "HuffPost"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/jd-vance-warns-ai-developers-not-to-create-frankenstein-technology", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/jd-vance-warns-ai-developers-not-to-create-frankenstein-technology.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/jd-vance-warns-ai-developers-not-to-create-frankenstein-technology.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/jd-vance-warns-ai-developers-not-to-create-frankenstein-technology.jsonld"}}
