In September 2026, U.S. President Trump publicly opposed strengthening regulations on artificial intelligence (AI), calling concerns about AI a 'scam' and stating that the U.S. leads China in AI and needs to maintain its advantage. Trump's remarks contrast with calls from some tech company executives to slow down AI development and enhance safety measures. Trump's tech advisor, David Sacks, also suggested that public concerns about AI stem primarily from propaganda campaigns and media coverage.
