OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and former President Donald Trump held a private meeting backstage at the recent GOP midterm convention. Altman reportedly requested the discussion to address the increasing power of artificial intelligence.
The meeting follows public calls from Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to slow AI development. These leaders argue that safety measures must keep pace with the technology's rapid advancement.
Trump dismissed these calls, labeling AI guardrails a SICK conspiracy. He stated that strong presidential leadership remains the only necessary control for the sector.
