title: "Trump claims 'sick conspiracy' against AI amid calls for slower development"
description: "Most outlets highlighted Trump’s accusation of a “sick conspiracy” against AI companies and his rejection of calls to slow AI development. Some also noted his dismissal of warnings about AI risks, with one outlet quoting him calling fears of human extinction a “hoax.” Another outlet emphasized his argument that slowing AI would benefit China, while another mentioned his specific criticism of the CEO of Anthropic. Overall, the framing was consistent in reporting his strong opposition to regulatory guardrails, though the emphasis on specific critics or consequences varied slightly."
