Trump chooses light regulation to keep US ahead in AI race
Trump and House Speaker Johnson plan light AI rules to compete with China.
President Trump is meeting with major tech CEOs on Tuesday to discuss AI policy. House Speaker Mike Johnson says the focus will be balance between innovation and safety, not strict rules.
Attendees include Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, and Nvidia's Jensen Huang. Google's Sundar Pichai and Elon Musk are also invited.
