Trump dismisses AI safety fears as 'hoax', rejects mandatory kill-switch calls

President Trump publicly rejected AI safety concerns as a 'hoax' and opposed mandatory safeguards, directly countering Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark's call for a mandatory AI 'kill switch'. This marks a clear policy stance favoring minimal AI regulation, potentially shaping US AI governance and market expectations. The claim is based on a single presidential statement, with no corroborating policy detail.
