Vance calls AI regulation push 'trojan horse' as Trump rejects new guardrails
Vice President Vance has publicly framed efforts to regulate AI as a 'trojan horse,' signaling that the Trump administration intends to resist new guardrails on artificial intelligence development.
Why this matters: When a government rejects safety rules for a technology this consequential, the people who bear the risk are not the companies building it. They are everyone else. 'Trojan horse' is a political framing designed to make regulation sound like an attack. It does not engage with what the guardrails would actually do or who they would protect. No rules does not mean no harm. It just means no one is clearly responsible when harm happens.
