Trump Downplays Need to Check AI, Says He Doesn't Want to Cede Edge to China

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that his administration should not slow the development of artificial intelligence, arguing the United States must preserve its lead over China because "whoever wins AI wins." Trump acknowledged some regulation is needed but offered no specifics, attributing warnings that AI is advancing too quickly to unidentified "negative forces." The remarks came a day after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI could be capable within six to 12 months of leading a swarm that could take over the entire internet.

DUBLIN, Sept. 13, 2026 (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday played down the need for his administration to check the development of artificial intelligence, saying he worried about ceding America’s edge over China in a global competition and that winning would help address the risks from the advancing technology.

While acknowledging the need for some regulation, Trump provided no specifics about potential rules and attributed warnings about the technology moving too quickly and with little oversight to “negative forces” he did not identify, though industry pioneers have raised such concerns. The Virginia-based ISP’s standalone multigigabit Glo Fiber service is sufficient to fuel customer growth, even against cable rivals offering a broadband-mobile bundle, CEO Ed McKay says

Amodei warned on Saturday that AI could be capable within six to 12 months of leading a swarm that could take over the entire internet.

One of the laws will penalize large social media companies that are found negligent in harming children. Another would ban tech businesses from offering addictive feeds to anyone under 16.

A pro-E-Rate group said it was prepared to litigate if funding was reduced.
