Mark Zuckerberg Raises Concerns Over Proposed FINRA-Style AI Regulator in Call with Trump
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed concerns about a proposed national AI regulator modeled after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority during a private call with former President Donald Trump in August. The proposal, supported by Google scientist Demis Hassabis and some administration officials, aims to oversee advanced AI models and assess risks before public release. Zuckerberg opposed the concept but did not seek a policy reversal, instead urging that appointees align with Trump's preference for light-touch technology regulation. The discussion followed briefings with major AI firms.
