Trump Says He Told an AI Executive to Kiss His Family Goodbye Before Going to Jail

President Trump says you can trust him to keep AI labs in check. Why? Because he claims his administration once threatened to throw the leader of a major AI company in jail.

“We had a situation where somebody was reported to us to be doing something bad with AI,” Trump said in an interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes. “We said, ‘Do you like the color orange? Go home right now, see your wife and children, give them a kiss good night, because tomorrow morning you are going to jail.”

Trump did not say which executive received the threat, but he said they were the leader of “one of the big” AI companies. Given that he mentioned a wife and kids, one could reason that means it wasn’t OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who is married to Oliver Mulherin, or Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who doesn’t have children. Trump clarified that he doesn’t think the CEO acted “maliciously,” and upon receiving the threat, the executive “totally changed everything,” Trump said.

It’s worth noting that Trump has made similar claims before, and he has specifically singled out Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. ” It’s unclear whether Trump was referring to the same incident he described on 60 Minutes.
