President Donald Trump dismissed calls for additional AI safeguards on Sept. 14, saying a strong president was the only guardrail needed. In a Truth Social post, he alleged a “SICK conspiracy” against AI and data centers, said it pleased China and argued that existing federal powers were sufficient. His remarks followed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s call to slow advances in AI capabilities so safety work can catch up. Amodei’s proposal distinguishes slowing development from halting model training. Anthropic is committing to give outside evaluators employee-like access to check safety practices and report incidents. Amodei also seeks common standards among developers in democratic countries and international coordination.
President Trump on Truth Social says there will be no AI slowdown or pause. It's full speed ahead. He says the entire thing is a "sick conspiracy" against AI and data centres, and the only one who would benefit is China. I will quote: 'Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE!'
The dispute centers on whether AI development should slow to give safety work more time. Trump says existing federal powers are enough; Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposes outside oversight and coordination among developers.
President Donald Trump rejected additional artificial intelligence safeguards on Sept. 14, 2026, after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for slower advances in the most capable AI systems. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk also backed calls for a slowdown over the weekend, CNBC reported.
Amodei’s proposal would give safety work more time to catch up with AI capabilities. It does not call for halting model training or technical progress, he writes in “We Must Pace the Frontier.”
Amodei proposes outside safety evaluators, common standards among leading developers in democratic countries, and eventual coordination between governments.
Anthropic has committed to the evaluator step. Under the proposal, outside reviewers would receive access comparable to employees’ and publish risk findings without Anthropic’s editorial control, subject to specified legal, contractual and privacy exceptions. The broader coordination steps require cooperation from other companies and governments.
Trump argued that his administration already had enough criminal and regulatory authority over AI companies. In his Truth Social post, he described the only necessary AI guardrail as a “STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT” and singled out Amodei for criticism.
He also alleged a “SICK conspiracy” against AI and data centers and said it pleased China.
The Sept. 14 post did not introduce an executive order or describe a specific new enforcement action. It stated Trump’s opposition to additional controls and his view that existing federal powers were sufficient.
Both Trump and Amodei invoke the need to preserve America’s AI lead. Trump’s post promises to maintain that lead. Amodei argues that coordination must protect the United States and its allies, with verifiable compliance. He considers a comprehensive global slowdown or pause unlikely soon.
