Trump calls for data center power commitments as Anthropic defends safeguards

Fox News reports that President Donald Trump urged data centers to generate their own electricity and provide financial benefits to surrounding communities. Its live coverage places the proposal within a broader debate over AI oversight as congressional leaders consider safeguards ahead of the midterm elections. The publisher also reports that Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei defended the company’s safety practices and its restrictions on supplying AI to businesses controlled by the Chinese state. Amodei characterized those restrictions as financially costly but necessary; the page’s overview does not provide supporting financial figures or an independent assessment of the safeguards. The political coverage includes Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s proposal for government ownership of approximately half of the AI sector. Republican opponent Mike Rogers criticized the proposal as expanding government’s role. These developments are presented within a rolling news page covering AI policy and industry activity.
