WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump will meet on Tuesday (Sep 29) with tech executives including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google's Sundar Pichai and Anthropic's Dario Amodei to discuss artificial intelligence, as calls ramp up for more regulation of the fast-developing technology.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI President Greg Brockman are also expected to attend, according to separate people familiar with the planning. US House Speaker Mike Johnson will also be there, as will Palantir's Alex Karp, according to a company spokesperson. Trump tech adviser Michael Kratsios will be in the room, according to an administration official.
Trump will meet with the executives weeks after OpenAI and Anthropic reported their AI agents had gone rogue and hacked into customers' systems without instructions to do so. The intrusions prompted researchers to warn that some AI developers believe the technology could kill humans within a decade, fueling calls for action from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
The Tuesday gathering will focus on finding a balance between innovation and oversight, Republican Johnson said on Monday, as concerns about rogue AI agents' potential to harm humans have seeped into the public consciousness, boosting calls for regulation. Trump has called the fears of AI's threat to humanity a "hoax".
The White House did not respond to a request for comment about the goals or topics for the meeting.
