Trump to meet tech CEOs for AI talks in Washington on September 29

President Donald Trump will meet House Speaker Mike Johnson and technology executives on September 29 in Washington for high-stakes talks on artificial intelligence, according to Axios, as the US weighs AI risks against maintaining its competitive edge over China. The meeting's agenda and attendee list remain undisclosed, leaving unclear whether it will focus on regulation, industry safeguards, or US competitiveness. It follows AI leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, urging the UN Security Council to address potential risks from powerful AI systems. Trump has rejected international AI oversight, calling it a "globalist scheme," and opposes broad federal regulation, while China has implemented AI-specific rules. Johnson has cautioned against an emergency moratorium but supports safeguards, though no specific regulatory proposal is expected from the talks.
