Conservatives push back against Trump push to minimise AI regulation, exposing Republican rifts
Some conservative activists and Republican figures are increasingly pushing back against U.S. President Donald Trump’s stance of minimising AI regulation. The White House argues regulation could slow development and competition with China, while some conservatives cite safety and cybersecurity risks from advanced models. Opposition has also surfaced over the expansion of AI data centres, with state leaders in Texas and Florida calling for tighter oversight. Residents in West Virginia are also objecting to a large data centre project.
