Washington: Donald Trump, the US President has indicated support for possible artificial intelligence (AI) safeguards, adding that the risks can be managed while ensuring the United States remains competitive with China in the rapidly developing technology sector.
Trump described the potential risks associated with AI as manageable and expressed willingness to work with Democrats on possible safeguards. The remarks suggest an openness to some form of oversight as AI continues to advance. However, the president did not specify what measures could be introduced or how far government involvement should extend.
The comments mark a possible willingness to consider safeguards through cooperation across party lines. They also raise questions about how the administration intends to balance technological progress with concerns over the safety and responsible development of increasingly advanced AI systems.

Trump has previously favoured allowing technology companies to regulate their own AI development rather than introducing broad government restrictions. This approach places greater responsibility on private companies to monitor potential risks and establish safeguards for the systems being developed.
The latest remarks suggest that the president may be open to discussing a different approach, particularly if it allows the United States to maintain its position in the global AI race. Cooperation with Democrats could provide an opportunity to discuss common standards while addressing concerns about the technology’s wider impact.
However, Trump has not outlined specific regulatory requirements or identified which areas of AI development could face additional oversight. The comments leave open the possibility of bipartisan action on safeguards, but do not confirm whether the administration will pursue broader government regulation as the United States competes with China in the AI sector.
