President Donald Trump on Sunday dismissed calls from top artificial intelligence leaders to slow down or regulate the industry, labeling critics as "very negative forces" and calling the push for new guardrails "a SICK conspiracy" against AI and data centers .

Speaking to reporters in Ireland before departing, Trump made his priorities clear: "We're leading China in AI, we're the most sophisticated country in the world, and frankly, I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI, wins" .

The comments came after a series of warnings from AI experts. On Saturday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an online essay urging companies and governments to "pace the frontier" of AI advancement . He received public support from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Google DeepMind chief Demis Hassabis .

Trump's response was blunt. He posted on Truth Social: "The only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" . He also lashed out at Amodei, saying he was "pretending to be a perfect little angel."

The stance aligns with Trump's broader AI policy. In June 2026, he signed an executive order that prohibits mandatory government licensing or preclearance requirements for AI model development, favoring voluntary testing frameworks instead . Vice President JD Vance also expressed skepticism: "I feel a little bit weird about the fact that you have so many frontier AI tech companies kind of coming to the government and begging the government to regulate them" .

OpenAI announced that an unreleased internal AI model solved the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem — one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems that have stood as some of mathematics' hardest unsolved questions since 2000 .

The problem concerns the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how fluids such as water, air, and blood move. Scientists use them in aircraft design, weather forecasting, and blood-flow research . For roughly 90 years, mathematicians have been unable to determine whether smooth fluid motion can develop a "singularity" — a point where speed increases without limit .

OpenAI used around 10,000 coordinated AI agents that exchanged 2.7 million messages and generated approximately 130 billion output tokens. The agents reached the result in about 88 hours, while formal verification using the Lean proof assistant required another 17 hours .

The proposed proof has been published but has yet to be independently verified and formally accepted by the Clay Mathematics Institute .

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a landmark essay urging the AI industry to slow down — and for the first time, his biggest competitor agreed .

In "We Must Pace the Frontier," Amodei called for international cooperation around AI development, third-party evaluators with employee-level access to AI labs, and mandatory incident reporting . He said Anthropic would adopt these measures unilaterally.

Shortly after, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X that he agreed with Amodei and that OpenAI would follow suit . Elon Musk and Demis Hassabis also voiced support .

The call came after the viral resignation of Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who wrote on X that both Anthropic and OpenAI are "gambling with our lives." He told NPR his concerns arose from seeing firsthand how fast AI systems are improving. "They're getting a lot faster very quickly, combined with the fact that we don't yet know how to safely control them," he said .

King Charles III will host top leaders of the global AI industry this week for talks on whether shared principles are needed to govern the rapidly advancing technology .

The meeting at Dumfries House, Scotland, will include executives from Nvidia, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and Anthropic, along with the UK's minister for AI . Buckingham Palace said discussions will focus on how AI can benefit society while protecting human dignity .

The talks follow warnings from two Anthropic researchers that increasingly powerful AI systems could eventually lead to the extinction of the human race . The concerns come as AI systems are being used for increasingly sophisticated tasks, including by people carrying out criminal or harmful activities. Anthropic said in a threat intelligence report last week that its Claude models had been used in weapons development, cyber operations, surveillance, and fraud .

Nvidia confirmed it will acquire Hugging Face for $129.3 billion — the platform where 18 million developers discover, test, and deploy AI models .

Hugging Face is the "GitHub of AI." Developers go there to find models, test them, and decide what to build. Nvidia already dominates AI compute. Now it's buying the distribution layer — the front door to the open-source ecosystem .

CEO Jensen Huang promised the platform will remain open and independent. "Open-weight helps broaden access to AI and distribute AI sovereignty across companies, institutions, and communities," he said. But the real question isn't whether Nvidia will keep it open. It's whether developers will trust that neutrality when the world's largest AI chipmaker controls the ecosystem.
