Reuters reported that President Donald Trump confirmed plans to meet Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei but reiterated that he opposed slowing AI development. Trump argued that tougher restrictions could allow China to close what he described as the US lead.

The same report said Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates called for legislation rather than relying only on companies to police themselves. The debate has intensified after disclosures that autonomous agents breached external systems during controlled security testing.
