Vice President Vance Calls AI Development Slowdown Requests 'Trojan Horse'

US Vice President JD Vance compared requests by AI tech companies to moderate development pace to a 'Trojan horse,' expressing concern over such demands. Speaking on AI regulatory debates, Vance stated on April 14 that Americans should not fear AI. During an AP news report, he described the situation where leading AI firms are urging government regulation as 'a bit odd' and warned it could be a 'Trojan horse.' He added that while the US administration reviews AI regulation, caution is needed.

Earlier, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, argued that slowing AI development speed is necessary to allow safety measures to catch up. Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk also agreed with Amodei's stance.
