Zuckerberg, Musk and Jensen Huang Reportedly Convinced Trump to Block AI Regulator

My take: Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Jensen Huang each called Trump separately to convince him not to create an industry-funded AI oversight body. The original plan, proposed by Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, would have created an evaluating body modeled after FINRA, the authority that regulates stock brokers in the U.S.

The three CEOs argued that this framework would primarily benefit the biggest players (OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google), giving them an entry barrier that the rest of the industry could hardly overcome. Trump did not move forward with the plan.

AI is today a strategic tool without a clear referee, and those with the most influence over how it will be regulated are the very ones building it. For professionals and businesses that use it as a work tool, staying informed about this debate is not optional. What kind of AI oversight do you think would most benefit those of us who use it, and not just those who sell it?
