  "summary": "Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed concerns about plans for a national AI regulator in a phone call with US President Donald Trump last month. According to a senior White House official, Zuckerberg opposed the proposal.\n\nThe proposed regulator would be an independent organization, similar to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which oversees the securities industry. It would review advanced AI models and test them for potential risks before they are widely deployed.\n\nAnother person familiar with the matter told Business Insider that Zuckerberg did not ask Trump to change his stance on the proposal during their call.",
