Trump, Johnson to Meet Tech CEOs on AI Oversight Sept. 29
The meeting comes as major AI companies warn of safety risks and call for governments to coordinate oversight, while 73% of U.S. adults say firms are not doing enough.
President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson will meet with technology CEOs on September 29 to address how Washington can oversee artificial intelligence while maintaining U.S. competitiveness.
Tech companies including OpenAI and Anthropic have warned of potential risks and urged government cooperation, while Trump has argued against new AI-specific regulations, stating he "rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control" AI.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday showed 73% of U.S. adults fear companies are failing to prevent catastrophic outcomes, while China has already imposed rules governing AI algorithms and training data.
Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg delayed the Muse AI agent to address security concerns, whereas Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang pushed back against calls to slow development, emphasizing speed and safety.
Although specific executive attendees remain unconfirmed, President Trump suggested the Justice Department could intervene if AI firms cause serious problems, weighing enforcement against concerns that regulations might stifle innovation.
