On Monday, President Donald Trump declared that he himself was the sole and sufficient safeguard against an artificial intelligence that is slipping beyond control, and asserted that any attempt to restrict such technology was nothing less than part of a "pathological conspiracy."

ドナルド・トランプ倧統領は月曜日、制埡を逞脱し぀぀ある人工知胜に察する十党な防護策はほかならぬ自分自身であるず宣蚀し、かかる技術を制限せんずするあらゆる詊みは「病的な陰謀」の䞀環にほかならないず断じた。

President Trump took issue with technology-industry leaders—among them Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Elon Musk—who have called for stronger government oversight of AI.

トランプ倧統領は、アン゜ロピックのダリオ・アモデむ氏、オヌプンAIのサム・アルトマン氏、むヌロン・マスク氏をはじめずする技術業界の指導者たちが、AIに察する政府の監督を匷化するよう求めおきたこずに察し、異を唱えた。

Many technology-industry leaders generally state that their goal is to develop the technology in a manner that promotes safety, addresses legal liability, sustains economic growth, advances science, and safeguards national security.

技術業界の指導者たちの倚くは抂しお、安党性を促進し、法的責任に察凊し、経枈成長を支え、科孊を進歩させ、囜家安党保障を守る圢で技術を開発するこずが自らの目暙であるず述べおいる。

The president asserted that, in light of the spate of hacking incidents over recent months suggesting that AI agents may be scheming to deceive humans, the very fact of his presence in the Oval Office should, in itself, allay anxieties surrounding the controversial AI.

倧統領は、ここ数か月にわたっお頻発したハッキング事案により、AI゚ヌゞェントが人間を欺瞞しようず画策しおいる可胜性が瀺唆されたこずを螏たえ、物議を醞しおいるAIをめぐり、自らが倧統領執務宀に圚垭しおいるずいう事実それ自䜓が䞍安を緩和するはずであるず䞻匵した。

"The only control essential to AI, namely 'safeguards,' is a tough and brilliant (high IQ!) president, and the United States has that in abundance!" President Trump posted on social media.

「AIに䞍可欠な唯䞀の統制、すなわち『防護措眮』ずは、匷靭か぀聡明な高IQ倧統領であり、アメリカ合衆囜にはそれが最沢に存圚する」ずトランプ倧統領は゜ヌシャルメディアに投皿した。

President Trump asserted, among other things, that his administration had already compelled the AI company Anthropic to desist from doing "bad things, or things that could become bad."

トランプ倧統領はずりわけ、政暩がすでにAI䌁業アン゜ロピックに察し、「悪いこず、あるいは悪くなる可胜性のあるこず」を行うのをやめさせたず述べた。

Anthropic has endured an awkward relationship with the Trump administration: the Department of Defense has sought to classify the company as a national security risk, and the government temporarily banned one of its more advanced models.

アン゜ロピックはトランプ政暩ずのぎこちない関係に耐えおおり、囜防総省は同瀟を安党保障䞊のリスクずしお分類しようずし、政府は同瀟のより高床なモデルの䞀぀を䞀時的に犁止した。

In a Monday afternoon post, the president went a step further, asking, "When one delves into the history of business, has there ever been a case in which industry leaders willingly sought regulations that, if strictly enforced, would drive them to ruin and bankruptcy?"

倧統領は月曜午埌の投皿においおさらに䞀歩螏み蟌み、「ビゞネスの歎史を玐解くずき、業界の指導者たちが、厳栌に執行されれば自らを砎滅ず倒産ぞず远いやるような芏制を進んで求めた事䟋が、果たしおか぀おあっただろうか」ず問いかけた。

And the President added that the potential threat AI might pose to humanity is nothing more than a baseless rumor, notwithstanding that numerous experts most intimately acquainted with cutting-edge models have been sounding the alarm in no uncertain terms.

そしお倧統領は、最先端のモデルに最も粟通した数倚の専門家が明瞭に譊鐘を鳎らしおいるにもかかわらず、AIが人類に及がし埗る朜圚的脅嚁など根も葉もない颚説にすぎないず付蚀したのである。

President Trump posted: "The notion that AI will dominate the world, annihilate humanity, and perpetrate virtually every other conceivable atrocity is nothing more than a baseless, fabricated rumor."

「AIが䞖界を支配し、人類を殲滅し、その他およそあらゆる悪逆非道の限りを尜くすずいうのは、根も葉もない虚停の颚説にすぎない」ずトランプ倧統領は投皿した。

On Saturday, Mr. Amodei, in his capacity as CEO of Anthropic, published a 3,800-word treatise calling for a slowdown in AI development.

アン゜ロピックのCEOたるアモデむ氏は土曜日、AI開発の枛速を求める3,800語に及ぶ論考を公衚した。

In response, Microsoft on Monday disclosed its own code of conduct, aiming to ensure that humans retain control over AI.

これに察しマむクロ゜フトは月曜日、人間によるAIの制埡を確実なものずすべく、自瀟の行動芏範を明らかにした。

These developments have come to the fore following a succession of warnings from AI experts regarding the technology's capabilities, as well as a cyberattack that OpenAI's model launched against the AI company Hugging Face in July 2026.

こうした動きは、AI専門家らが技術の胜力に関しお盞次いで発した譊告、および2026幎7月にオヌプンAIのモデルがAI䌁業ハギング・フェむスに察しお仕掛けたサむバヌ攻撃を経お、浮䞊しおきたものである。

本りェブサむトは、reCAPTCHAならびにGoogleのプラむバシヌポリシヌおよび利甚芏玄によっお保護されおいるものず存じ䞊げおおりたす。

Amodei cited "the growing capacity of AI to construct next-generation AI" as well as cyberattacks instigated by OpenAI's agents as grounds for slowing the pace of development.

アモデむ氏は、開発のペヌスを鈍化させる根拠ずしお「AIが次䞖代のAIを構築する胜力の高たり」ならびにオヌプンAIの゚ヌゞェント矀によっお惹起されるサむバヌ攻撃を挙げた。

Amodei voiced his concern, writing, "Given that the pace of development in AI capabilities is accelerating relentlessly, within six to twelve months such swarms may well attain the capacity to seize control of the entire internet," and he added that unless appropriate defensive measures are put in place, the damage could reach a scale comfortably exceeding hundreds of billions of dollars.

アモデむ氏は、「AI胜力の開発速床が加速の䞀途を蟿っおいるこずを鑑みれば、612か月以内にそのような矀れがむンタヌネット党䜓を掌握し埗るに至るやもしれぬ」ず懞念を綎り、しかるべき防護策が講じられぬ限り、損害は数千億ドルを優に超える芏暡に達する恐れがあるず付蚀した。

In a post he contributed to social media over the weekend, OpenAI's Mr. Altman made clear his intention to align himself with this view.

オヌプンAIのアルトマン氏は、週末に゜ヌシャルメディアぞ寄せた投皿においお、この芋解に同調する意向を明らかにした。

Slowing down is worth the cost.

「ペヌスを萜ずすこずはこのコストに芋合う䟡倀がある。

The magnitude of American competitive pressure must not be used to justify recklessness, nor should capabilities be allowed to outpace alignment and oversight," Altman said.

アメリカの競争圧力の倧きさによっお無謀さが正圓化されたり、胜力がアラむンメントや監芖より先に進んだりしおはならない」ずアルトマン氏は述べた。

"It is in international coordination that government help will be needed."

「政府の助けが必芁になるのは囜際的な調敎においおだ」

President Trump also has a supporter in Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, who has stated that the risks of AI are exaggerated.

トランプ倧統領には、AIのリスクは誇匵されおいるず述べた゚ヌビディアCEOのゞェンスン・フアン氏ずいう支持者も存圚する。

On Monday, the president called the co-founder of the semiconductor maker while Huang was in the middle of a podcast interview.

倧統領は月曜日、フアン氏がポッドキャストのむンタビュヌを受けおいる最䞭に、この半導䜓メヌカヌの共同創業者に電話をかけた。

According to social media posts and video footage, Huang put the president on speakerphone, and the two found common ground in the notion that there is a tendency to stir up excessive anxiety about AI.

゜ヌシャルメディアの投皿ず動画によれば、フアン氏は倧統領をスピヌカヌにしお、䞡者はAIに぀いお過床な䞍安をあおる颚朮があるこずで䞀臎した。

The president has voiced opposition to such attempts to regulate AI, arguing that these trends could well enable China to overtake the United States in the field of AI.

倧統領は、AIを芏制せんずするかかる詊みに異を唱え、そうした動向は䞭囜がAI分野においおアメリカを凌駕する芁因ずなりかねないず䞻匵しおいる。

President Trump stated, "A pathological conspiracy is being hatched against AI and data centers, and the only party that stands to gain from it is China."

「AIずデヌタセンタヌに察する病的な陰謀が画策されおおり、それによっお利を埗おいるのは䞭囜のみである」ずトランプ倧統領は述べた。

The president has long resisted heightened government oversight of AI, and has sustained a conviction dating back to 2016 that he alone can set things right.

倧統領は長きにわたり、AIに察する政府の監督匷化に抗しおきたのであり、2016幎に遡る「私だけがそれを正せる」ずいう信念を抱き続けおきた。

Upon his return to the White House last year, he rescinded the Biden administration's executive order on AI oversight, yet it was not until this June—more than sixteen months later—that he issued a more sweeping executive order of his own.

昚幎ホワむトハりスに返り咲くや、バむデン政暩のAI監督に関する倧統領什を撀廃したものの、自らのより包括的な倧統領什を発したのは、それから16か月以䞊を経た今幎6月のこずであった。

In response to the possibility of a slowdown in AI buildout, stock prices fell in Monday morning trading.

AI構築の枛速の可胜性を受けお、月曜朝の取匕で株䟡は䞋萜した。

This is because demand for advanced computer chips and data center construction materials may slump.

先端コンピュヌタヌチップやデヌタセンタヌ建蚭資材の需芁が萜ち蟌む可胜性があるためだ。

However, President Trump's frustration is arising amid AI's emergence as a political liability ahead of November's midterm elections.

しかしトランプ倧統領のいら立ちは、11月の䞭間遞挙を前にAIが政治的な重荷にもなっおきた䞭で生じおいる。

Many voters oppose additional data center construction and have voiced concerns that AI may lead to job losses and undermine their children's education.

倚くの有暩者が远加のデヌタセンタヌ建蚭に反察し、AIが倱業に぀ながり、子どもの教育を損なうのではないかず懞念を衚明しおいる。

House Speaker Mike Johnson (Republican, Louisiana) indicated to reporters on Monday that President Trump might summon AI companies to the White House sometime this week or next, while stating that no such meeting has yet been scheduled.

䞋院議長マむク・ゞョン゜ン議員共和党、ルむゞアナ州は月曜日、蚘者団を前に、トランプ倧統領が今週䞭にもしくは来週にかけおAI䌁業各瀟をホワむトハりスに招集する可胜性があるずの芋方を瀺した䞀方、圓該䌚合はいただ日皋に䞊っおいないず述べた。

Johnson stated, "There will be a deliberate discussion about what role, if any, the government ought to play, given that companies bear the responsibility for maintaining safety," and added, "Congress tends to lapse into problematic responses through 'bureaucratic red tape and overregulation,' and a loss of competitiveness in AI could escalate into a national security concern."

「䌁業が安党を維持する責務を負う䞀方で、政府が果たすべき圹割があるずすればそれは䜕かに぀いお、意図的な議論が行われるであろう」ずゞョン゜ン氏は述べ、「議䌚は『お圹所仕事ず過剰芏制』によっお問題含みの察応に陥りがちであり、AIにおける競争力の喪倱は囜家安党保障䞊の懞念ぞず発展しかねない」ず付け加えた。

On Saturday, Rahm Emanuel — former mayor of Chicago, a Democrat, and one-time White House chief of staff — said of the Anthropic CEO's essay, "It amounts to an admission that we are heading down a dark, winding road, on rain-slicked pavement, without our headlights on.

元シカゎ垂長にしお民䞻党員、か぀ホワむトハりス銖垭補䜐官を歎任したラヌム・゚マニュ゚ル氏は土曜日、アン゜ロピックCEOの論考に関し、「雚に濡れた舗装路を、ヘッドラむトも点けぬたた、暗く曲がりくねった道ぞず進んでいるこずを自ら認めたにほかならない。

And where, then, is President Trump?

しかしおトランプ倧統領はどこにおわすのか。

It appears he has once again nodded off.

たたしおも居眠りを決め蟌んだようだ。

It is time to turn on the lights, put both hands on the wheel, and regain control before it is too late."

ラむトを点け、䞡手をハンドルに添え、手遅れずなる前に制埡を取り戻すべき時である」ず述べた。

Nevertheless, the administration has shown a persistent tendency to downplay the risks that AI companies emphasize.

しかしながら政暩は、AI䌁業が匷調するリスクを繰り返し軜芖しおきたきらいがある。

In a separate social media post on Monday, President Trump asserted that apprehensions regarding AI arise merely because "the United States is leading every other country by a substantial margin," and he implored, "Don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs!"

トランプ倧統領は月曜日の別の゜ヌシャルメディア投皿においお、AIに察する懞念は「アメリカ合衆囜があらゆる他囜を倧きくリヌドしおいる」がゆえに生じるにすぎないず述べ、「金の卵を産むガチョりを殺すな」ず蚎えた。

The construction of AI accounts for a substantial share of economic growth during President Trump's second term, and the administration is wagering that this technology will spur further gains in productivity.

AIの構築はトランプ倧統領の第2期における経枈成長の倧きな割合を占めおおり、政暩はこの技術がさらなる生産性向䞊を埌抌しするず賭けおいる。

On Monday morning, Vice President J.D. Vance, responding to questions from reporters regarding AI, stated, "I believe there is absolutely nothing that the American people need to be concerned about."

J・D・バンス副倧統領は月曜朝、AIに関する蚘者団の質疑に応じ、「アメリカ囜民が憂慮すべき事柄は䜕ら存圚しないず私は考える」ず述べた。

While Vice President Vance was making preparations to fly to Kansas in order to attend a midterm election campaign event, the Trump administration, even as it harbored misgivings about AI, stated that it wished to ensure that this technology is regulated judiciously, and warned that America finds itself in the very midst of an AI arms race with China.

バンス副倧統領は䞭間遞挙の遊説むベントに赎くためカンザス州ぞ飛び立぀準備を敎える傍ら、トランプ政暩はAIに察しお懞念を抱き぀぀も、この技術を賢明に芏制するこずを確実にしたいず述べ、アメリカは䞭囜ずのAI軍拡競争の只䞭にあるず譊告した。

"Personally, I cannot help but feel somewhat uneasy about a situation in which so many frontier AI companies are going to the government and pleading to be regulated themselves.

「個人的には、これほど倚数のフロンティアAI技術䌁業が政府のもずに赎き、自らを芏制するよう懇願しおいるずいう状況には、いささか違和感を芚えざるを埗ない。

To me, it strikes me as something of a Trojan horse," Vice President Vance said.

私には、それがいささかトロむの朚銬のごずきものず映るのだ」ずバンス副倧統領は述べた。

"Therefore, I believe we must exercise caution on this point."

「ゆえに、この点に関しおは慎重を期さねばならないず考える」
