Washington Week with The Atlantic

Why Trump is quick to dismiss concerns about AI safety

Season 2026 Episode 38 | 13m 04s

Just as AI’s threats to humanity reached a fever pitch with tech CEOs publicly calling for government regulation, Congress left Washington to return to the campaign trail six weeks before Election Day. The panel discusses why President Trump is quick to dismiss the concerns about AI safety and data centers.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
