Surrounding Trump were the heads of Meta, Google, Nvidia, SpaceX, Amazon, and OpenAI. Just this week, OpenAI announced it is pausing the release of its newest AI model over safety concerns. Reuters reported that Anthropic, whose CEO was there today, too, plans to caution potential investors that AI could pose, quote, “catastrophic or ‘ risks to humanity.” Alex Karp is the CEO of Palantir.

Do you want them to stay away from homes when they’re building these data centers? Yeah, I think I want them to be in the right location within a community. There are tech executives who support more government guardrails for AI, but they held back today, at least when the cameras were on. The leaders did sign a commitment here to build strong internal controls. Trump called the document, quote, “morally binding.” Tony. Very interesting, Nancy. Thank you.
