‘Whoever Wins, AI Wins’: Trump Brushes Aside Slowdown Calls as Ex-Senator Demands an AI IPO Freeze

President Donald Trump has rejected calls for AI guardrails and a slowdown of the emerging industry, asserting that whoever wins AI wins. He specifically criticized tech titans and Dario Amodei for pushing for pace restrictions on the frontier. Meanwhile, former Senator David Sacks has challenged the industry's push to slow down development, and there are demands for an AI IPO freeze, though Trump remains committed to accelerating progress regardless of the political outcome.
