Over the last week and a half, the safety and potential dangers of artificial intelligence developing rapidly has been in the headlines.

Big tech leaders are calling for AI regulation and admit concerns of their own about its dangers.

President Donald Trump says the worry isn't necessarily about safety, it's the AI race with China.

We're leading China in AI and frankly I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI wins.

Following those comments, the president posted this on social media, saying, quote, the only control or guardrails that AI needs is a strong and smart president.

He continues, there is a sick conspiracy going on against AI and data centers, and the only one happy about it is China.

Vice President J.D. Vance commented on the matter as well.

Here's what he said about the calls for regulation.

I have to say just personally, I feel a little bit weird about the fact that you have so many frontier AI tech companies kind of coming to the government and begging the government to regulate them.

It feels a little bit to me like a bit of a Trojan horse.

So I think we just have to be careful about this.

Ohio leaders weighed in on AI risks and regulation, including U.S.

Senator Bernie Marino and Governor Mike DeWine.

I also talked to a few people who are coming of age at the same time artificial intelligence is coming of age.

Ohio Senator Bernie Marino says regulating AI development is a challenge for Congress.

We want to slow it down.

I think these companies have to act responsibly, but Congress is never going to act at the speed at which this technology is developing.

The former anthropic researcher told CBS News self-improving superintelligence.

It will be smart enough to kill us.

Marino says tech companies should make sure that never happens.

They don't need to wait for Washington, D.C. to act.

They can be responsible actors on their own.

Governor Mike DeWine says regulation and uniformity have to come from the federal government, but shares the president's concerns about China.

We also have to continue to, you know, develop.

We know what the Chinese are doing.
