— Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg raised concerns about a proposed national AI regulator during a phone call with President Trump last month, inserting himself into an ongoing White House debate over AI oversight, POLITICO reports.The proposal, backed by Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and some senior White House officials, would establish an independent FINRA-style body responsible for reviewing and testing advanced AI models for potential risks before wider deployment.
During the August call, which Trump initiated, Zuckerberg expressed opposition to the proposal. He did not directly ask Trump to change his position but argued that anyone appointed to such a regulator should reflect Trump’s generally light-touch approach to AI regulation.
