Trump said AI risk is manageable and claimed he threatened an AI executive with jail to change behavior.Summary
In a 60 Minutes interview, President Trump downplayed AI safety warnings from executives, saying the risk "can be managed" and is handled by the DOJ. He claimed that when someone was reported doing something bad with AI, he threatened the leader of a major AI company with jail, saying "Get ready to go to jail. Please give your wife a kiss good night," and that the person "totally changed everything." Trump declined to name the individual or company. He also said he would work with Democrats on AI safety and is open to "guardrails," but warned against putting the US in "a deep second position," noting that China has no real guardrails beyond whatever President Xi says.
