After the media asked Trump questions about reports that OpenAI, Anthropic, and security researchers were investigating tens of thousands of incidents involving problematic behavior in cutting-edge artificial intelligence models, Trump laughed at concerns about artificial intelligence “getting out of control.” The timing is delicate: Trump is reportedly hosting a private dinner at the White House tonight to host Anthropic CEO Amodei. This is the first time the two have met alone, and the strained relationship between the company and the government is showing signs of potential easing. Trump said the US should not abandon an industry potentially worth trillions of dollars just because of risk. He argues that businesses must solve problems as they arise, and that the government can step in if necessary.
