Former U.S. President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson are expected to meet with technology and AI company executives next week, according to multiple reports citing sources. The discussions are set to occur against the backdrop of ongoing public debate over how to regulate and evaluate artificial intelligence.
The reports describe the meeting as taking place as some AI leaders issue warnings about potential risks and the need for safety measures. Forbes notes that the event follows broader warnings tied to AI safety, while also highlighting that Trump has dismissed such warnings as a “hoax.” ABC News similarly frames the meeting in the context of these cautions issued by leaders in the AI industry, without focusing on any specific response from Trump.
Across the outlets, the main shared point is that a high-level meeting between national political leaders and AI executives is planned, with the surrounding coverage emphasizing disputes over AI safety and the urgency of oversight.
