Trump gathers with AI leaders, floats 'self-regulation' as the way to deal with the technology's dangers

President Trump gathered top artificial intelligence leaders in Washington on Tuesday and doubled down on his opposition to government intervention, suggesting that "self-regulation" may be the answer to growing worries about the technology getting out of human control. "There's a belief that there should be tremendous self-regulation," the president said of the takeaways from the meeting with the assembled CEOs. "There was a lot of commonality in this room." The remarks came at the end of what the White House billed as a "meeting and luncheon on Super Intelligence" — reflecting Trump's preferred name for the technology — in the East Room, with Trump even posting the seating chart.
