Johnson Says AI Safety, Government Role to Be Discussed With Tech CEOs
The meeting is expected to address artificial intelligence, including AI safety and the possible role of government. No meeting time or attendee list has been disclosed.
President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson are expected to meet technology-company CEOs at the White House on Tuesday, Sept. 29, for an artificial intelligence discussion involving safety and government oversight.
No meeting time has been reported, and the attendee list has not been disclosed. The meeting has not been formally announced by the White House or the House, and its duration and policy outcome have not been disclosed.
Johnson said the discussion would address companies’ responsibility for AI safety and the possible role of government.
“There'll be a deliberate discussion about the responsibility of the companies to maintain safety, and what role, if any, the government has to play in that,” Johnson said.
The meeting comes as U.S. policymakers debate whether advanced-AI companies should face new federal safeguards or rely primarily on voluntary industry standards. Trump has opposed claims that AI poses an imminent threat to humanity and argued against regulations that could slow U.S. companies competing with China.
The administration frames its AI policy around faster innovation, expanded infrastructure, and international diplomacy and security. Its stated policy also emphasizes U.S. leadership in AI and competition with foreign technology development.
The specific executives expected to attend have not been disclosed. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 29, at the White House.
