AXIOS (Stef W. Kight) - Exclusive: Thune believes Trump is willing to listen on AI guardrails despite public defiance

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says President Trump is "not really dug in" against guardrails for AI , despite Trump's public campaign against restricting the technology. Why it matters: Thune told Axios he spoke privately with Trump as the AI issue was getting "pretty hot" a few weeks ago and believes some of Trump's strong pushback is against public "paranoia and noise around the subject." - Thune reads Trump's position as a preference for companies coming up with ways to secure their systems, rather than Congress or the administration. That approach relies more on experts to provide guidance. - Trump has called recent fears around AI safety a "hoax." - "I do think that the threats are real," Thune told Axios in an interview on…

Who is Dario Amodei and what did he discuss with Senator John Thune?

The left's push to rein in AI is taking shape on two fronts: slowing advanced development at home, and weakening China's progress abroad. Why it matters: The nation is locked in a moment of mass anxiety about runaway AI, but the range of views on how to regulate it are as varied as the what-ifs about social, economic and security impacts. - There's agreement among the left something has to be done, but a series of Wednesday events demonstrated there are multiple priorities — but not a clear leading voice — on AI. Driving the news: Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and fellow progressive Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced legislation Wednesday to ban superintelligence and pause advanced development until a new, Cabinet-level…
