Donald Trump rejects AI curbs to beat China; analysis says slower US progress may aid security

US President Donald Trump has argued that tighter regulation of artificial intelligence could allow China to overtake the United States, but a new analysis makes the case that slowing the technology’s development could instead strengthen US national security.

Trump has repeatedly opposed measures aimed at slowing artificial intelligence (AI) development, saying they could undermine American interests by giving China an advantage in the global technology race.
