Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones warned that the U.S. is dangerously behind in regulating AI, calling for immediate action to prevent misuse like deepfakes and mandating digital watermarks. He noted a growing consensus among AI experts for government oversight but criticized the lack of a federal law, contrasting with the EU’s AI Act and China’s aggressive AI dominance push.
Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones urged the U.S. to act urgently on AI regulation, warning that the country is already late in establishing oversight. In an interview with CNBC, Jones stated that proactive measures must be taken immediately, emphasizing the risks posed by AI-generated deepfakes. He called for mandatory digital watermarking of AI-generated media to preserve public trust and security. Jones observed a significant shift in industry sentiment, with 80% of AI experts now supporting government regulation—a sharp increase from just 20% a year ago. He added that even AI company leaders are surprised by the absence of legal frameworks despite rapid technological growth. The U.S. currently lacks a comprehensive federal AI law, unlike the European Union’s 2024 AI Act, leaving a regulatory gap as China competes to dominate the AI landscape. Jones suggested potential collaboration with China on AI safety, noting that both nations share an interest in protecting their citizens. Despite regulatory concerns, Jones remains optimistic about AI’s financial potential, revealing recent increases in his own AI stock investments. His warnings highlight the dual nature of AI—both a revolutionary tool and a growing threat requiring urgent governance.
