The argument over artificial intelligence regulation, meaning the question of what rules governments should impose on companies that develop and sell AI systems, has separated into two camps. Former President Donald Trump and Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang stand on one side. On the other: Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei, OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman, and Elon Musk.
The lines do not fall where you might expect. Nvidia, which Huang leads, makes the processors that most large AI systems depend on. Amodei's Anthropic and Altman's OpenAI build the models that run on that hardware. Despite that relationship, the hardware maker and the model makers are on opposite sides of the policy debate. Musk aligns with Amodei and Altman.
Trump is the only figure in the group without a current executive role in the AI industry. That puts him alongside Huang, against Amodei, Altman, and Musk.
