Sources say Zuckerberg talks with Trump, opposing the establishment of a national AI regulatory body
It is reported that Zuckerberg communicated with Trump against the establishment of a national AI regulator. On September 4th, Beijing time, according to Business Insider, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed his concerns about the plan to establish a national AI regulator to U.S. President Trump in a previously unreported phone call last month. This move marked the participation of this global tech industry executive in the controversial White House AI policy debate. The plan to establish an AI regulator in the United States was promoted by Nobel Prize winner and Google DeepMind scientist Demis Hassabis, with support from some White House officials. The proposal would establish an independent agency modeled after FINRA, which is an organization under the supervision of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission responsible for regulating the securities industry. According to White House officials, this agency would be responsible for reviewing advanced AI models and assessing their potential risks before they are widely deployed.
