U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he spoke with Donald Trump on Monday night local time and that they are calling in executives from artificial intelligence vendors to the White House for an important meeting in the coming week. Johnson described the expected attendees as "all the big names you know" in AI.
He also said guardrails for AI need to be designed in a balanced and carefully considered way. According to Johnson, the framework should include independent auditing bodies and require transparency from the people building the technology. He said there are several ideas he views as important guardrails.
The remarks follow Trump’s Sept. 14 post on Truth Social, where he said recent controversy around artificial intelligence and data centers stems from the fact that the United States is ahead of every other country "by a lot." Trump warned that this lead should not be choked off because of the dispute, adding: "Do not kill the goose that lays the golden egg."
The comments come as debate in the U.S. intensifies over AI data center expansion, energy consumption, and the pace of frontier AI development.

Johnson calls for balanced AI guardrails
Johnson said any effort to put guardrails around AI must be balanced and carefully thought through.
"I think there need to be independent auditing bodies, and the people developing this technology need to be transparent. There are some very important ideas that can serve as guardrails," he said.
Trump had already weighed in on AI and data center disputes
Earlier, on Sept. 14, Trump wrote on Truth Social that the recent controversy surrounding artificial intelligence and data centers comes down to one core point: "The United States is ahead of every other country, and by a lot."
He warned against choking off that advantage because of the disputes and said: "Do not kill the goose that lays the golden egg."
The latest comments come as debate in the United States heats up over AI data center expansion, energy use, and the speed of frontier AI development.
