WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) – US President Donald Trump, Republican House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson and tech CEOs will hold a meeting on artificial intelligence on September 29, a source familiar with the planned meeting said late on Thursday.
• The world’s leading artificial intelligence companies have warned of the risks posed by AI to humanity, appealing for governments to work together to manage the increasingly powerful technology.
• Governments around the world have struggled to keep pace with rapid advances in AI.
• The planned meeting was reported earlier by Axios. Further details were not immediately available.
• The United States and China, the two leading powers in AI development, have taken different approaches to oversight.
• 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.
• Trump told world leaders at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday he “rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control” AI, describing the technology as amazing but noting the US would be careful.
