Former President Donald Trump confirmed that he recently met with Dario Amodei, the co‑founder and chief executive of the artificial‑intelligence company Anthropic. The meeting was described as a discussion of developments in the AI sector.

During the conversation, Trump reiterated his long‑standing position that fears surrounding artificial intelligence are exaggerated. He stated that he does not consider AI to pose a significant danger and dismissed calls for heightened alarm.

Trump also expressed concern that new regulatory measures being considered in the United States could unintentionally benefit rival nations. He warned that stricter U.S. rules might open the door for China to surpass the United States in AI advancement.
