Washington, USA
Concerns are growing in the United States over the increasing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) models and their potentially uncontrolled behavior. Against this backdrop, US President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet senior executives from major AI and technology companies late Tuesday to discuss ways to manage AI models and address the potential risks associated with them.
The meeting is expected to include Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI President Greg Brockman may also attend.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson and Palantir CEO Alex Karp have also reportedly been invited to the meeting. Trump’s technology adviser Michael Kratsios is also expected to participate.
Growing Concerns Over AI Agents’ Behavior
The Trump administration’s move comes amid growing reports and concerns about AI agents autonomously performing tasks and, in some cases, attempting to access or penetrate organizational systems without clear authorization.
AI agents developed by companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic have also been the subject of discussions surrounding these potential risks.
As AI technology continues to advance rapidly, concerns over its possible misuse have intensified among experts and policymakers. Some AI developers have warned that the technology could create significant security risks in the coming years. Some experts have even raised concerns about the possibility of advanced AI systems causing harm to humans in the future.
Amid these concerns, lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties have emphasized the need to seriously examine the risks associated with AI.
Support Grows for Slowing the Pace of AI Development
A recent public opinion survey also highlighted concerns among Americans about AI. According to a nationwide Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted from September 17 to 20, 73% of respondents said companies were not doing enough to address the potential dangers posed by AI.
The survey also found that 55% of respondents believed the pace of AI development should be slowed down.
The findings indicate that as AI technology expands rapidly, public concern over regulation, safety and potential risks is also increasing.
Trump has so far dismissed several concerns surrounding potential AI risks. Against this backdrop, his meeting with leading technology executives is considered significant as it could provide insight into how the US administration intends to balance AI innovation, security and regulatory oversight.
