Trump says AI risks can be managed, signals openness to guardrails

In a 60 Minutes interview with CBS's Ross Douthat that aired Sunday, President Trump said the risks of AI are manageable and that he "doesn't mind guardrails," signaling he could work with Democrats on safeguards after their midterm wins. He said regulation must not put the U.S. in "a deep second position" behind China, which he said has no such restrictions. Trump has previously favored letting tech companies police themselves, and it remains unclear what safeguards he would back.
