The US government convened with the leaders of the synthetic intelligence industry on Sept. 29 to establish governance protocols. President Trump and top executives discussed the implementation of specific auditing processes and shared industry standards at the White House, according to CBS, as the administration sought to maintain a competitive edge over China. The event featured a national address by Trump from the Oval Office and the launch of a new government AI tool.

The summit's theme of a 'new American Golden Age' clashed with assertions from critics like Gary Marcus, who described the sector as being in shambles due to mounting losses and safety failures. These talks followed a federal appeals court ruling upholding the Pentagon's blacklist of Anthropic's Claude models. Although earlier rumors suggested Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei was not invited, he was seen with House Speaker Mike Johnson after the meeting.
