I think you have a lot of very negative forces that are bringing it up that shouldn\u2019t be bringing it up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Echoing the president, Johnson warned that moving too quickly to curb AI development could cost the US its competitive edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US president, Speaker Johnson warn against slowing AI amid rivalry with China<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf Congress just races in and does some sort of emergency session to try to regulate AI, we will lose the race to China, and that is a threat to every single American,\u201d Johnson said, adding that the US must not smother innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut we don\u2019t need everybody to panic right now. We need to handle this new technology like we have others in the past and make sure we\u2019re doing everything we can responsibly to also not smother American innovation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The political pushback comes as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei outlined a framework on Saturday intended to pace development and create time to manage risks of \u201csuperintelligent\u201d computer systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/2025937\">OpenAI CEO Sam Altman&nbsp;<\/a>and Elon Musk, who owns xAI, quickly chimed in on X to say they agreed with Amodei\u2019s assessment. Altman also said in an interview that his company will not go public this year, citing safety concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The public debate heated up after AI researcher Jacob Coxon left the industry, accusing his former employers OpenAI and Anthropic of \u201cgambling with our lives\u201d in the race to develop models capable of self-improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concerns have grown recently following disclosures of AI models hacking external systems during cybersecurity tests. Still, Amodei argued any slowdown by democracies should be limited to preserving the lead US companies hold over China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON(National Times)- US President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday slammed critics of artificial intelligence who warned firms need to slow development, contrasting with tech leaders Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who are urging caution.
