President Donald Trump tells AI executives that the industry should rely on “tremendous self-regulation” rather than sweeping government rules. The comment comes during a White House meeting and lunch with major technology leaders, as broader concerns about the speed and safety of AI development continue to build. Multiple outlets report Trump frames the approach as something the industry can police itself.
Several accounts say Trump indicates the executives support self-regulatory steps and may sign a document reflecting that position. In addition, Forbes and other outlets report Trump also discusses changing how the technology is described in official paperwork, including renaming “artificial intelligence” to “super intelligence.” Other coverage emphasizes the presence of government officials alongside tech leaders and the contrast with Washington’s growing appetite for stricter regulation.
While outlets vary in how prominently they describe the signing of a document and the details of any planned orders, they broadly agree on the substance of Trump’s message: a preference for industry-led oversight and a possible change in the terminology used in government communications.
