Donald Trump claimed in a 60 Minutes interview that the Justice Department threatened the leader of a major AI company with arrest over alleged misuse of AI, prompting the executive to change the company's behavior. The Verge reported that Trump refused to identify the person or company. Trump described the executive as leading "one of the big ones" and claimed the person subsequently "totally changed everything." Asked about working with Democrats on AI safety, he said he would, while arguing that guardrails should not put the United States behind China.
