In this Fox News segment from the program “Life, Liberty & Levin,” Wall Street Journal columnist and political analyst Matthew Continetti weighs in on the growing public and political alarm surrounding artificial intelligence.
Continetti argues that Donald Trump takes a grounded, “common-sense approach” to AI policy by resisting extreme alarmism and heavy regulatory overreach. A central point of the discussion is the high-stakes global technology race between the United States and China. Continetti emphasizes that while safety and ethical concerns around emerging technologies are valid, imposing excessive regulations out of panic could stall domestic innovation and surrender American leadership in AI to geopolitical adversaries, particularly Beijing. The segment frames Trump’s posture as prioritizing American competitiveness, strategic national security, and practical innovation over reflexive fear.
