President Donald Trump expressed reluctance to heavily regulate artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing the importance of maintaining America’s competitive edge over China.

Former President Barack Obama suggested making AI a campaign focus, highlighting the need for safety and economic strategies. The White House plans to discuss AI policy further, with potential meetings involving Trump and Congress.
