U.S. President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson are set to host a White House lunch with executives from six major technology companies to discuss artificial intelligence risk and government oversight. Expected attendees include Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI President Greg Brockman, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Palantir CEO Alex Karp, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Ahead of the meeting, Johnson said the main goal is to strike a balance between AI innovation and regulation. He said he opposes both a pause in AI development and what he described as excessive regulation, arguing that either could leave the United States at a disadvantage in its AI competition with China. At the same time, he said AI needs greater transparency and some level of government supervision. The companies attending the lunch do not share the same view of AI risk. Anthropic and OpenAI have recently warned in public about the serious risks that more powerful AI systems could pose, while Meta has put more emphasis on AI’s potential benefits. Trump, who has previously downplayed such risks, also had a separate White House dinner with Amodei before the broader meeting.

Johnson says the focus is balancing innovation and oversight
Before the meeting, Johnson said the discussion would center on finding a balance between AI innovation and regulation. He said he opposes a pause in AI development and also opposes what he called excessive regulation, arguing that it could put the United States at a disadvantage in AI competition with China.
He also said AI needs greater transparency and some degree of government oversight.
Companies at the table differ on how they view AI risk
The companies involved do not share the same assessment of AI risk. Anthropic and OpenAI have recently warned publicly that more powerful AI could bring serious risks, while Meta has stressed the potential benefits AI can deliver.
Trump has previously downplayed those risks, but before this meeting he also had a separate dinner with Amodei at the White House.
