<\/p>\nAnthropic co-founder says AI safeguards will help US stay ahead of China<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAnthropic co-founder Jack Clark defended the company\u2019s push for\u00a0artificial intelligence\u00a0<\/a>safeguards, arguing that safety standards are essential to preserving America\u2019s lead over China.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\u201cThe worst time to react to an exponential is when it\u2019s too late,\u201d Clark told Fox News\u2019 Bret Baier. \u201cWe need to get a sensible, common-sense safety framework in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nClark responded to President Donald Trump\u2019s rejection of industry warnings as a \u201choax,\u201d saying America should remain at the forefront while handling the technology carefully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cWhat we\u2019re talking about here is the need to have some equivalent set of safety standards for the AI sector,\u201d Clark said, comparing the proposal to standards governing children\u2019s toys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nClark argued that a major AI accident could trigger sweeping restrictions and ultimately hurt U.S. competition with Beijing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cHow you keep being ahead is you make sure that you don\u2019t roll the dice on public safety,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nHe also rejected suggestions that Anthropic\u2019s position was motivated by money or a potential public offering, calling that theory \u201can absurd 4D chess move.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nClark urged Trump to raise AI safety during talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThis is not a scared moment,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is a moment to use our agency as people to decide the future we want.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\nTech CEO says AI companies should own risks, not wait on Washington<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBoom Supersonic founder and CEO Blake Scholl pushed back on calls for the government to slow\u00a0artificial intelligence<\/a>\u00a0development, arguing that companies should take responsibility for the products they release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\u201cIf someone\u2019s concerned about making a product that could do some harm, don\u2019t ship the product,\u201d Scholl said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nScholl argued that existing laws can address deliberate misuse, comparing AI to a baseball bat used to attack someone. In that case, he said, the user should be held responsible rather than the manufacturer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nBut he drew a line when an AI system acts on its own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cIf a model maker creates a model that goes off and does bad on its own, that is the model maker\u2019s responsibility,\u201d Scholl said. \u201cThe accountability here is not rocket science.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nScholl said the government could clarify where responsibility falls but questioned broader efforts to slow development. Senate negotiators are considering legislation that would impose a \u201cduty of care\u201d on advanced AI developers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of doom talk,\u201d he said, \u201cbut what I see is good stuff happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\nNewt Gingrich says US must lead AI race without steamrolling communities<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFormer House Speaker Newt Gingrich argued that the United States must lead the global\u00a0artificial intelligence<\/a>\u00a0race while protecting communities from the impact of massive data centers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nGingrich told \u201cKudlow\u201d that policymakers face two separate challenges: fears that AI could escape human control and practical concerns about water, electricity costs and local authority.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cWe would have sort of a contract for data centers that says every community has certain rights and is not going to be run over by some trillion-dollar corporation,\u201d the Fox News contributor said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nPublic opposition to data centers has grown amid concerns about utility costs, water use and limited local benefits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nAt the same time, Gingrich warned that falling behind China would create a serious national security threat. At the same time, Gingrich warned that the U.S. could face \u201cgrave danger\u201d if it falls behind China in the development of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nGingrich said concerns about data centers also extend to \u201cMAGA Republicans\u201d who do not want large corporations overpowering their communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cWe have to remain totally committed to being the leading country in the world,\u201d he said, while ensuring local communities are protected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\nGOP lawmaker backs AI \u2018kill switches,\u2019 warns US cannot lose race to China<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"GOP](\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/assets.foxnews.com\/liveblog\/fn\/prod\/images\/2026\/09\/624\/351\/ac26029ab2e212a73a5820733192fd76.png?ve=1&tl=1\")

\nCasar said he and more than 30 lawmakers asked both companies detailed questions about incidents involving their AI systems but received responses that omitted important facts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cEither they deceived Congress or they didn\u2019t know about some of their own technology, which in some cases is even more worrisome,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\u201cThat\u2019s like saying it should be bank robbers that are responsible for bank safety,\u201d Casar said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
