[Zuckerberg Opposes Establishment of National AI Regulatory Agency in Call with Trump] According to a report by Golden Finance on September 4, citing Business Insider, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed opposition to plans for establishing a national artificial intelligence regulatory agency during a phone call with U.S. President Trump last month. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Trump proactively called Zuckerberg during the week of August 17 to discuss a White House proposal for a "FINRA-style" AI regulatory agency. The proposal, suggested by Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, aims to create an independent agency similar to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to review and conduct risk assessments of advanced AI models. Zuckerberg argued that such an agency should reflect the Trump administration's relatively lenient approach to AI regulation but did not request Trump to change his stance. The White House stated that the Trump administration seeks to strike a balance between promoting AI innovation and ensuring safety. Currently, the plan is still under consideration, and the White House is also evaluating an alternative industry-led self-regulation model. Previously, Zuckerberg had expressed concerns that overly stringent regulations could slow down the release of AI models and impact the United States' competitiveness in the AI field.
