Trump backs unregulated AI to beat China, but it may harm US security
US President Donald Trump wants American AI to grow fast without tough rules, saying regulation would let China win. But experts warn unchecked AI brings real security risks. Foreign actors linked to China, Russia, Iran and North Korea have already misused AI models for hacking, fraud and weapons work. About eight in ten Americans want more AI regulation, recent polling shows.

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your business uses AI tools, check who can access them and what data they can reach. Set simple internal rules, keep records of usage, and review your AI security exposure with a professional rather than assuming it is someone else's problem.
