Trump Officials Line Up Against AI Regulation as Gates Warns of a Tool 'By and For the Richest'

Multiple administration figures said they've seen no AI regulation worth supporting, while Bill Gates argued that without rules, AI will be designed to serve the wealthy.

The US government's posture on AI regulation came into unusually sharp focus, and the message was consistent: not now, maybe not ever. Attorney General Todd Blanche, per @townhallcom, drew a bright line: 'If anybody associated with AI violates criminal law, we'll investigate... We do not think it's the job of the Justice Department to regulate.' That's an enforcement-only philosophy — the government acts after harm, not before.
