Trump Rejects AI Safety Guardrails and Singles Out Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei by Name
Read this in the Market Flux appPresident Trump posted on Truth Social on September 14 that the only "guardrails" artificial intelligence needs is "a strong and smart president," flatly rejecting calls from industry leaders for formal safety constraints on frontier AI development. Trump asserted that his administration already holds "tremendous criminal and regulatory power" over AI companies and claimed it has acted to stop AI figures from doing "bad, or potentially bad things."
Trump specifically called out Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei by name, mocking him as "now pretending to be a 'perfect little angel.'" The post came days after Amodei published an essay calling on AI companies and governments to slow the pace of frontier model development to allow safety measures to catch up, a position Amodei said Anthropic was unilaterally committing to. Trump's response frames that safety argument as part of what he called a "sick conspiracy going on against AI and data centers" that he said benefits only China.
Trump closed the post with a stark geopolitical framing: "Whoever wins AI, wins," warning that the U.S. is currently leading China and must continue to do so. He directed a threat at what he called "conspiracy theorists, treasonists, traitors, and leakers" to be aware of his administration's enforcement posture.
