President Trump posted a message on Truth Social urging a serious slowdown in AI development, a stance that aligns with calls from tech leaders like Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, and Sam Altman of OpenAI.

It remains unclear what specific criminal and regulatory rules Trump was referring to in his statement.

In December, Trump signed an executive order to simplify and ease regulations on AI, contrasting with his current call for a slowdown.
