President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson and tech CEOs will hold a meeting on artificial intelligence on Tuesday, September 29, a source familiar with the planned meeting told Reuters late on Thursday, September 24.
Reuters cited one unnamed source and said further details were not immediately available. ABC News reported the meeting separately, citing multiple sources familiar with it, and said it is unclear which executives will attend. The wire did not name any of the executives expected to attend, and it did not describe an agenda, a location, or any planned policy outcome. The Reuters report did not include comment from the White House or from Johnson’s office.
Axios reported the planned meeting first. In its report, Axios reporter Maria Curi also cited a source familiar with the plans and said the meeting comes as pressure mounts on Washington to regulate frontier AI companies. The Axios item did not name attendees either.
Johnson has backed the idea of such a meeting. “There’ll be a deliberate discussion about the responsibility of the companies to maintain safety, and what role, if any, the government has to play in that,” he told reporters last week, according to ABC News.
Reuters placed the meeting against a broader oversight debate. The world’s leading AI companies have warned of the risks AI poses to humanity and have appealed for governments to work together to manage the technology, while governments around the world have struggled to keep pace with rapid advances, the wire said.
The United States and China, the two leading powers in AI development, have taken different approaches, according to Reuters. Trump has argued the US does not need new AI-specific regulations, while China has imposed rules governing AI algorithms and training data, including requirements that AI-generated content be clearly labeled.
At the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Trump told world leaders he “rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control” AI, describing the technology as amazing but noting the US would be careful, Reuters reported. In the same speech, he said the US government would use “super intelligence” in place of “artificial intelligence” in official communications, as AI Tech Daily reported.
