Silicon Valley AI Leaders Back Trump’s Self-Regulation Push
The White House’s voluntary safety pact drew support from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, SpaceXAI and Nvidia as regulators opened new probes.
- President Donald Trump brought tech leaders to Washington late last month for a voluntary safety pact on 'Super Intelligence,' a 308-word agreement encouraging advanced AI labs to monitor their own progress without specific enforcement details.
- During Tech Week in San Francisco on Wednesday, venture capitalists and AI founders praised the government's hands-off regulatory stance, citing profit opportunities in AI-powered defense systems as the U.S. allocates $1 trillion to defense spending.
- David Robinson, a leader on OpenAI's safety team, warned that industry self-policing is 'no substitute for hard law,' while Sarah Myers West, former Federal Trade Commission adviser, said the voluntary approach 'has consistently done one thing, which is failed to work.'
- The FTC opened an investigation last month into OpenAI, Anthropic, and other companies over consumer dangers. Separately, OpenAI fired three researchers who posted that 'fear and unclear rules stymie AI safety work.'
- After the event, Trump told reporters, 'I'm seeing tremendous self-policing,' while his administration continues repealing oversight rules and blocking state-level AI regulations to prioritize rapid growth over consumer protection.
