Trump Characterizes Artificial Intelligence Regulations as a Conspiracy

U.S. President Donald Trump rejected calls for new regulations targeting the artificial intelligence sector, describing these initiatives as a conspiracy against artificial intelligence and stating that existing oversight is sufficient to protect U.S. competitiveness.

Artificial Intelligence and Regulatory Debates

U.S. President Donald Trump opposed calls for artificial intelligence regulation coming from leaders of prominent tech companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Microsoft. Emphasizing that new security measures are unnecessary, Trump described these ideas as a sick conspiracy organized against artificial intelligence and data centers.

Emphasis on Global Competitiveness

Stating that he does not want the U.S. to lose its advantage in the global competition with China in the field of artificial intelligence, Trump indicated that the oversight provided by his administration is sufficient. Meanwhile, following warnings from tech leaders, declines were observed in artificial intelligence stocks worldwide.

Decision on Mail-In Voting

In a separate legal development, a federal judge halted the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing President Donald Trump's executive order restricting mail-in ballots. This decision came at a time when the Supreme Court is preparing to issue its final ruling on the matter.

Other Developments and Market Movements

During the same period, it was reported that landowners filed lawsuits over border wall projects in Texas, and the 10-year Treasury yield reached the 5 percent level for the first time since 2023. Additionally, while diesel prices in the U.S. surged to record levels, an increase was seen in Brent crude oil prices due to conflicts in the Middle East.
