A rift is widening inside President Donald Trump’s administration over how tightly to regulate artificial intelligence. Senior aides worried about cyberattacks, biological weapons and threats to critical infrastructure are pressing for stronger safeguards. Trump and some technology executives, citing competition with China, want to preserve a light-touch approach.
The Wall Street Journal reported on September 16 that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have spent the past several months discussing AI risks and regulatory options with Trump almost daily, trying to convince him that closer oversight is needed. They also held regular calls with OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman and Anthropic executives to discuss those concerns.
