Here’s what AI leaders are saying about Trump’s new safety plan

Collected Sep 30, 2026

President Donald Trump took questions from journalists about his artificial intelligence announcements after hosting a meal with Big Tech leaders on Tuesday.

According to the account, Trump said his previous claims that fears around AI safety were a "hoax" cooked up by Democrats no longer apply now that he has renamed the technology "Super Intelligence."

He brushed off concerns that the government was not enforcing enough AI guardrails, citing US companies "dominating China" as the reason.

Rather than ushering in federal AI regulations, Trump said he now has "the smartest people in the world watching over each other."

The account describes a photograph from the event, taken by Kevin Dietsch for Getty Images, and refers to the reaction of Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg when Trump called on him to speak. It adds that the people Trump was referring to include Google executives, without providing further names in the available material.
