President Donald Trump attacked Anthropic PBC Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei for urging a slowdown in artificial intelligence development, intensifying his opposition to new guardrails for the technology.

In a Monday social media post, Trump blamed a “SICK conspiracy” for voter backlash on AI data centers and increased concern about frontier models, adding that “the only one that is happy about it is China.”

“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Trump posted. “We are leading China, and all others, and will continue to do so. Conspiracy Theorists, Treasonists, Traitors, and Leakers, BEWARE!”
