젠슨 황·머스크·저커버그, 트럼프 설득해 AI 규제기구 제동

As the debate over regulating the speed of artificial intelligence (AI) rages on in the United States, major tech companies' executives, including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jensen Huang, reportedly persuaded former President Donald Trump to halt a proposed AI regulatory organization. According to the Wall Street Journal on July 17, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, and Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, conveyed concerns about a proposed industry-funded regulation to the Trump administration, successfully preventing its implementation.

Demis Hassabis, a senior scientist at Google's parent company Alphabet, recently proposed to White House officials the creation of a board similar to the Financial Stability Oversight Council, but this idea was thwarted. Zuckerberg and others expressed concern over which members would be selected and potential power concentration on open AI, Anthropic, and Google.

The White House has been divided on artificial intelligence regulation for months, with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Scott Pruitt, and National Cybersecurity Agency Director Kirill Kostyukov advocating for stronger government oversight, while officials like David Cass, chairman of the Science and Technology Advisory Committee, have consistently pushed for a minimalist regulatory approach, echoing Trump's earlier stance.

Amidst the debate, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Demis Hassabis, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have all argued for increased monitoring, testing, and independent evaluation of advanced AI developments, while Musk prefers a peer-review system among companies rather than government control. Musk proposed a mechanism during the recent "All-In Summit" in Los Angeles, suggesting that companies provide access to their models before release to competitors.
