US House Speaker against slowing AI development

SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 16:55

The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Republican Mike Johnson, criticized calls to slow down the pace of artificial intelligence development. Johnson expressed his position today, opposing any attempt to reduce the speed of technological advances in the field.

The main concern expressed by Johnson relates to the technological competition between the United States and China. The Republican leader fears that any slowdown in AI development in the US could allow China to gain an advantage in this technological race.

Johnson, as Speaker of the House of Representatives, holds a position of great influence in shaping the technological and legislative policies of the United States. His position against slowing AI reflects an approach of international competitiveness in the technology sector.

Why this matters

Johnson's position may influence US technology policy and geopolitical relations with China, potentially affecting American technology companies and global AI competition. The US decision may have implications for AI policies worldwide.
