BARTIROMO: Could AI be the type of technology that undermines confidence in the banking system?

TRUMP: Yeah, probably

BARTIROMO: So should government have some safeguards?

TRUMP: There should be, but we're leading in AI. We're leading China by a lot.

companies could mean losing the AI race to China. They treat any talk of safeguards as regulation.
