Trump Warns AI Company CEOs of Criminal Prosecution

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has warned the CEOs of major artificial intelligence (AI) companies of potential criminal prosecution. It has been suggested that the CEO in question may be Dario Amodei of Anthropic. According to a report by BeInCrypto on the 9th, President Trump claimed during an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" that the Department of Justice intervened after harmful activities using AI technology were reported. He stated, "We strongly contacted them to prepare to go to jail." Trump asserted that the CEO in question had "changed everything," but did not provide specific names or evidence. Trump's remarks were analyzed as similar to the conflict between Anthropic and the White House in June. According to a Politico report on September 20, the White House raised security concerns regarding Anthropic's AI model "Claude Fable 5" on June 12. Amazon reported discovering vulnerabilities in the model, but Anthropic disputed this. CEO Amodei opposed the government's request to halt operations, and Trump said, "I want to send them to jail." Subsequently, the U.S. Department of Commerce restricted access to the Anthropic model. However, it has not been confirmed that CEO Amodei was directly threatened with criminal prosecution. In a June 19 interview, Trump also mentioned Amodei, citing potential national security threats, but there is no evidence that the Department of Justice directly threatened arrest.
