After alerts from Musk, Altman and Amodei, Trump criticizes the "negative forces" that want to halt AI development

CNN Portugal13 September 2026 at 16:28

After alerts made by Elon Musk (xAI), Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic), Donald Trump criticized the "negative forces" that, according to him, want to halt the development of artificial intelligence in the United States. The US President argued that these leading companies in the sector should not be prevented from advancing with the technology.

Trump considered that the top executives of these three AI companies are "talking about things that won't happen," suggesting that the fears expressed by them are unfounded. The President's position comes at a time when the debate about the risks of artificial intelligence has gained public prominence.

Musk, Altman and Amodei have been publicly warning about potential risks associated with the accelerated development of AI, including existential threats. However, their interventions do not appear to have convinced the Trump administration to favor a more cautious approach.

The Trump administration has shown support for the rapid growth of the AI sector in the US, positioning itself against any attempt at regulation that could slow American innovation in this strategic area.

Why this matters

Although this is news about US politics, developments in AI regulation in the US have global impact, including in Portugal and Europe, where American decisions can influence technological competition and the European Union's AI policies. Readers in Lusophone markets who follow the technology sector or invest in AI companies will be affected by these regulatory changes that can shape the future of the industry worldwide.
