Vance warns of possible 'trojan horse' after AI leaders call for slowdown, regulation

US Vice President JD Vance on Monday (September 14) said he was wary of a potential "trojan horse" after the leaders of top AI firms called for a slowdown or regulation in the wake of hacking incidents involving AI agents.

President Donald Trump said on Monday that the US already has guardrails in place to regulate and prosecute AI companies, appearing to play down concerns expressed by industry leaders over the weekend about misuse of artificial intelligence.

00:00Are you concerned at all about the developments with AI and the calls over the weekend by Sam Altman, Dario
00:05Made, to cause the development of artificial intelligence?
00:08You know, it's something that we're concerned by, but we want to make sure that we actually regulate smartly and
00:13we're thoughtful about the risk here.
00:16So there are obviously risks to AI, there are some benefits to AI.
00:19I have to say just personally, I feel a little bit weird about the fact that you have so many
00:27frontier AI tech companies kind of coming to the government and begging the government to regulate them.
00:33It feels a little bit to me like a bit of a Trojan horse.
00:35So I think we just have to be careful about this.
00:38The other thing the president said pretty consistently is we know that the Chinese are engaged in this long-term
00:43AI race against the United States.
00:45We want to make sure the United States, we do things smartly, but we stay ahead of the curve.
00:49I don't think Americans should be scared of anything.
00:53I think that we have to be mindful that there are risks, there are downsides to anything, and that's certainly
00:58true of AI.
00:59On AI regulation, do you think Congress should take the lead, or do you want to see administrative executive authority
01:05work?
01:05Well, obviously the best way to do it would be consensus between both Congress and the administration.
01:10We obviously have a lot of folks on both sides of the aisle with a strong opinion,
01:13but any regulatory regime you'd like ideally Congress and the White House to agree on it
01:18so that we actually are able to make it stick and so that we actually get some real consensus behind
01:23it.
01:24We'll see you next time.
01:33We'll see you next time.
01:33Bye.
01:35Bye.
