The heads of major tech companies, including NVIDIA, Meta, and SpaceX, reportedly persuaded U.S. President Donald Trump to block the establishment of an artificial intelligence (AI) regulatory body.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk recently conveyed their concerns about the creation of a regulatory body to President Trump, succeeding in aborting its establishment, the U.S. daily The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the 17th, local time, citing multiple sources.
According to the sources, they opposed the initiative, raising concerns that if a private sector-led AI regulatory body discussed within the AI industry at the suggestion of Google Chief Scientist Demis Hassabis were established, power would likely become concentrated among the top three AI leading companies: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
They also reportedly expressed concerns over who would be selected as executives and members of the organization.
In individual conversations with President Trump, they reportedly stated their preference for the "light-touch" regulation currently adopted by the administration.
Recently, Google Chief Scientist Demis Hassabis proposed the establishment of a private sector-led AI regulation and standard-setting body modeled after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei also posted an article arguing for the need to slow down development speeds.
Meanwhile, President Trump said on the social media platform Truth Social, "There is a morbid conspiracy going on regarding AI and data centers," adding, "Only China welcomes this."
