Key Facts
Vance told reporters on Monday he feels “a little bit weird” about AI companies “begging the government to regulate them,” saying it feels like “a bit of a Trojan Horse.”
Vance echoed comments Trump made the day prior, saying the United States needs to stay “ahead of the curve” amid the AI race with China.
“Any technology has risks,” Vance said after a reporter asked whether Americans should be “scared” about the rapid advancement of AI, asserting Trump wants to be “smart about making sure we stay on top of the risks.”
