President Trump stated on September 14, 2026, that the United States does not require additional AI regulations. He argued that the oversight of a president is sufficient to manage risks, rejecting proposals from industry leaders to slow down development.
The statement responded to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who recently advocated for a pause in AI progress to prioritize safety research. This view is shared by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who have both called for international safety coordination.
The administration currently maintains a voluntary 30-day pre-release review process for advanced AI models. This approach contrasts with the EU AI Act, which enforces tiered compliance requirements for developers.
Trump criticized calls for caution as a strategy that could benefit China. The administration maintains that strict regulations would hinder the competitive position of American companies in the global AI sector.
