Former President Donald Trump urged major technology companies during an artificial intelligence conference to take full responsibility for ensuring the safety of their AI systems, calling on them to make independent decisions about safeguards without government interference. Speaking at a high-profile industry gathering, Trump emphasized the need for self-regulation, arguing that companies like Meta, OpenAI, and Microsoft should lead in developing ethical guidelines and technical measures. His remarks reflect a growing debate over whether industry oversight or government policies should govern AI development. The push for corporate accountability comes amid rising concerns about AI risks, including misinformation, job displacement, and unintended consequences.
