Add The New York Times on GoogleAgrega The New York Times en Google President Trump summoned the world\u2019s most powerful technology executives to the White House on Tuesday, and praised the assembled billionaires as \u201cvery brilliant\u201d minds who wanted to make the world a better place through job creation, the construction of data centers and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence.As president, Mr. Trump faces questions about whether A.I. should be regulated, and particularly whether restrictions should be put in place to protect humans from technology that has learned to outmaneuver existing safeguards.But in the end, convening all of those billions and all of that brain power did not result in a commitment to formal regulation. Instead, they signed a voluntary agreement to adopt safety policies that include risk reviews, auditing and evaluations of systems by third parties. They also agreed to adopt Mr. Trump\u2019s preferred rebranding of A.I.: \u201csuper intelligence.\u201d\u201cThis is going to be all for the good, and we\u2019re going to have it be nice and safe,\u201d Mr. Trump said on Tuesday afternoon, when he and the tech leaders took questions outside the White House. \u201cAnd they\u2019re really going to be policing each other, and that\u2019s the way it works.\u201dAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTAsked if the agreement would be binding, Mr. Trump said, \u201cI think it\u2019s morally binding.\u201dInside the White House luncheon, Mr. Trump\u2019s seating chart (which he posted on social media) revealed a powerful assemblage of executives who are deeply divided on the need for A.I. safeguards. The meeting also included top officials, such as Speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President JD Vance, who believe that formalized safeguards would hurt American competitiveness.In the middle of it all was Mr. Trump, who has punted to a group of executives to decide how best to wrangle the rapidly evolving technology, or whether it should be wrangled at all.\u201cThere\u2019s going to be a tremendous self-policing aspect,\u201d Mr. Trump said.The one-page document is short on details and relies on the companies to follow through with their promises. It is not an official order, and it is unclear who would enforce the guidance. It was signed by Mr. Trump and the leaders of Anthropic, Google, Meta, Nvidia, OpenAI and SpaceXAI.The agreement echoes voluntary safety commitments by A.I. companies made during the Biden administration. The companies agreed to test their systems for safety and to report safety and security incidents. But the commitments were nonbinding and largely lost at the start of the Trump administration, when the president rolled back safety requirements.The business leaders invited to the White House on Tuesday included Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, who has called for federal safety regulations, including the testing of models. Earlier this month, Mr. Amodei called for an industrywide slowdown of A.I. development, citing safety concerns.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTThe company has also been embroiled in a legal fight with the administration, and has been barred from working with the Pentagon. The two sides disagreed in negotiations over a $200 million contract, with the company\u2019s insisting that its A.I. technology not be used in mass surveillance of Americans or for autonomous lethal weapons. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Mr. Trump called Mr. Amodei \u201cfantastic.\u201dAlso on the guest list was Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia and a close Trump ally, who has called the safety concerns exaggerated. Mr. Huang has implored the administration and lawmakers to keep a hands-off approach to regulating the industry, saying rules would allow rival China to speed past the United States on A.I. leadership.When the group appeared with reporters, the president called Mr. Huang a \u201cvery handsome guy\u201d and asked him to speak.\u201cWe\u2019re going to advance this technology that is so consequential to humanity, so consequential to the future prosperity of our nation,\u201d Mr. Huang told reporters. \u201cWe\u2019re going to do it responsibly and safely.\u201dOthers invited to the luncheon included Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon; Greg Brockman, the president of OpenAI; Alex Karp, the chief executive of Palantir; Sundar Pichai of Google; Mark Zuckerberg of Meta; and Elon Musk of SpaceXAI. The White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent were there. David Sacks, Mr. Trump\u2019s former top adviser on A.I. and a venture capitalist, also attended.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTBefore the luncheon, Mr. Trump told the audience at an event unveiling America.gov, an A.I.-powered search tool, that the U.S. government was championing the technology in an effort to counter China, a major rival in the race to develop A.I.Sign up for the On Politics newsletter.

Mr. Xi said in remarks at the White House that both nations shared the responsibility to develop A.I. with \u201cthe well-being of the people\u201d in mind.But in front of a crowd of executives and cabinet members, who were gathered in an auditorium for a presentation that took on the veneer of an Apple product-launch event, the president reiterated a winner-take-all mentality.\u201cYou\u2019re going to have a winner, or you\u2019re going to have a loser,\u201d Mr. Trump said.ImageMr. Trump has pushed the United States to seek A.I. supremacy over China. Credit...Doug Mills\/The New York TimesMr. Trump has argued that American dominance over A.I. technology is imperative for national security and economic growth.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTWith his embrace of A.I. and support for the development of data centers throughout the country, Mr. Trump is also increasingly out of step with the public. Recent polling shows that a majority of Americans are growing more concerned about A.I. and want the federal government to do more to regulate the technology.On Tuesday, Mr. Trump again came down on the side of data centers, calling concerns about them a Democratic hoax. Flanked by executives at the luncheon, Mr. Trump predicted that the public would eventually embrace the facilities.\u201cYou\u2019re going to see data centers are going to be very popular, because this is the group, and they\u2019re the ones that want to, and they\u2019re also the ones that want to see communities that are safe and happy,\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cOtherwise, they\u2019ll be forced to go overseas or other locations.\u201dImageMr. Trump with leaders of major tech companies including Meta, Nvidia, SpaceXAI and Google. Credit...Doug Mills\/The New York TimesAs the public has soured on A.I. and the prospect of data centers mushrooming around the country, the debate over technology safety has intensified in recent weeks. Several rogue A.I. clients and models have worked together to breach websites, steal data and then cover their tracks, all while appearing to show an understanding that what they were doing was wrong. Senior leaders in Congress have acknowledged the need for A.I. safety guardrails.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTIn April, Anthropic announced it was holding back the release of one of its models, Mythos, because it was too dangerous for the public. In July, OpenAI models broke out of a restricted testing environment and hacked the A.I. start-up Hugging Face. In early September, leaders of Anthropic, OpenAI and Google DeepMind called for slowing development of advanced A.I. models.Last week, an OpenAI model was found to have meddled with U.S. government websites including the Education Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commerce Department\u2019s census site. And this week, OpenAI said it would not release its latest model, GPT-6.1 Astra, over safety concerns.Within the White House, senior leaders are at odds on how to regulate the industry. Mr. Bessent has floated the idea of an open dialogue with China on safety standards. He has also stressed that A.I. companies must be held accountable for harms created by their models.ImageDina Powell McCormick, the president and vice chairman of Meta, center, was in attendance at the event on Tuesday. Credit...Doug Mills\/The New York TimesAs his day with the billionaires wrapped up on Tuesday, Mr. Trump said that he was considering a committee of about 10 people focused on A.I. safety, and that he would name an A.I. czar in the coming days.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTHe ended his final appearance with reporters alongside Mr. Musk, another attendee who has worked himself back into Mr. Trump\u2019s good graces after a spat last year over domestic policy legislation. He was seated near Mr. Xi and Mr. Trump at last week\u2019s state dinner, and was at Mr. Trump\u2019s side at the luncheon on Tuesday.Mr. Xi, the president said, \u201cwill take every data center that we don\u2019t want.\u201dStanding nearby, Mr. Musk agreed.\u201cHe would love that, every single one, because you know why? They\u2019re smart,\u201d Mr. Trump continued. \u201cThey want every data center. They want it because that\u2019s great for China. Well, it\u2019s great for us, and we\u2019re leading by a lot, and we're going to keep it that way.\u201dKalley Huang contributed reporting.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
