Trump Open to AI Guardrails, Citing China Competition

President Donald Trump said in a 60 Minutes interview that AI risks can be managed and that he does not oppose guardrails, provided safeguards do not put the United States behind China. He cited competition with China to explain his stance and said the Justice Department had warned an unnamed leader at a major AI company about potentially harmful conduct, but offered no further details. Trump also said he would work with Democrats on safeguards, though his comments did not lay out a specific policy and mark a shift from earlier opposition to AI guardrails. Separately, a national survey found that Americans are more likely to see AI as risky than to support expanding its use in everyday life.
