‘China will catch us in AI race, if…’: Trump’s ‘warning’ to US

President Donald Trump has called for a unified federal standard for artificial intelligence regulation. He warns that a fragmented approach with state-level rules could allow China to surpass the United States in the global AI race. Trump wants lawmakers to include this measure in defense legislation or pass it as a separate bill. This push faces resistance from those who want to protect state-level AI regulations, particularly concerning child safety and copyright.
