Paul Tudor Jones Calls for Watermarking of AI-Generated Content

Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Thursday that governments should watermark AI-generated content. "Clearly we need to regulate AI. We need to do it tomorrow. We're late already, we should have already done it," Jones said according to the network.

He cited a recent conference of AI experts and model makers where 80 percent of participants supported regulation, up from about 20 percent a year earlier. "The leader of one company at the event expressed surprise that the industry was not yet regulated," Jones said.

Jones disclosed that he recently bought more AI stocks. He said he does not believe China wants to "wipe out" the U.S. and called for dialogue between the two nations on AI safety even as competition continues. "Everyone wants what's best for their people," Jones said.

In March the White House released a nationwide AI policy framework. The Wall Street Journal reported this week that both the U.S. and China are considering official discussions about AI at an upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping.

The European Union passed the AI Act in 2024, while multiple U.S. states have passed or introduced legislation, many focused on child safety.
