what happened
US President Donald Trump said the dangers linked to artificial intelligence can be kept under control, and signaled he is willing to accept safeguards. In an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, he said he has no objection to guardrails.
Asked whether America should take on AI risks to stay ahead of China, Trump answered that the dangers are manageable and said he is open to working with Democrats on safety protections. He argued that rules should not leave the US in a deep second place behind China, which he said has no comparable restrictions.
Trump had previously favored letting technology companies police themselves rather than facing sweeping government limits. Reuters reports that it remains unclear at what level any such measures might arise.
why it matters
For markets the signal matters more than any concrete step. Tighter AI rules could weigh on technology companies that build and deploy these systems, but with no stated level or specific measures, the remarks give investors little clear direction for now.
