Trump, Speaker Johnson Expect to Meet Tech CEOs on AI Next Week

President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson are expected to meet with executives of top artificial intelligence companies at the White House on Tuesday, September 29.

Multiple sources familiar with the scheduled meeting confirmed the event. The meeting comes as leaders of major AI companies have issued warnings about the technology's threats and called for steps to slow its development. Speaker Johnson has expressed support for a meeting to discuss companies' responsibility for safety and the government's potential role, while previously stating the House would not take stupid knee-jerk reaction prescriptions toward the AI industry.

Johnson has argued against a moratorium on AI development, citing national security implications and the risk of losing an edge to China. President Trump has repeatedly called claims about AI threats a hoax and has appeared to reject the idea that new regulations are needed. A White House official confirmed the meeting date but did not specify who else would attend. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei earlier called for an international slowdown on AI frontier model development.
