Zuckerberg expressed his opposition to Trump's creation of a national artificial intelligence regulator

On 4 September, Business Insider reported that Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, in a telephone call with United States President Trump last month, had objected to plans to establish a nationwide artificial intelligence regulator. According to the source, Trump made an offer to call Zuckerberg on the week of 17 August to discuss the “FINRA” AI regulatory scheme under consideration by the White House. The programme, proposed by the Chief Executive Officer of Google DeepMind, Demes Hashabis, is to establish an independent body similar to the United States Financial Services Regulatory Authority to review and test the advanced AI model for risk. Zuckerberg argued that the institution should reflect the more liberal AI regulatory philosophy of the Trump Government, but did not require Trump to change its position. The White House stated that the Trump administration wanted to strike a balance between promoting AI innovation and safeguarding security. The plan is still under consideration and the White House is assessing another industry-led self-regulation model. Previously, Zuckerberg had indicated that overly stringent regulation could slow the release of AI models and affect the United States ' competitiveness in the AI area。
