Trump to meet AI executives amid oversight debate

President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet House Speaker Mike Johnson and executives from major artificial intelligence companies at the White House on Tuesday, September 29, as the administration faces calls to address risks from the fast-developing technology. The gathering is expected to include Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI President Greg Brockman. Sundar Pichai of Google and Alex Karp of Palantir were also identified as expected participants in reports citing people familiar with the arrangements or company representatives. The sources do not confirm who ultimately attended. Johnson said Monday that the discussion should seek a balance between innovation and oversight. He opposed a moratorium or what he described as excessive regulation, arguing that it could weaken the United States’ ability to compete with China. The White House had not specified the meeting’s agenda, and no outcome or policy action was established in the reports. The meeting comes amid debate over whether stronger safeguards are needed as AI systems become more capable.
