Meta Platforms Inc.Zuckerberg opposes the proposed AI regulator, which could impose restrictions on Meta's AI development.

Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly opposed a proposed national artificial-intelligence regulator during an August phone call with President Donald Trump, as the White House weighs a FINRA-style watchdog for frontier models. According to a Politico report, Zuckerberg said he opposed the proposal but did not ask Trump to change his position, instead suggesting appointees reflect the president's light-touch approach to AI. The plan, championed by Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, would create an independent body modeled on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to test advanced models for cybersecurity risks before wider deployment. Zuckerberg has argued for government-industry collaboration without restricting or delaying advanced models, warning that slowing U.S. releases could add significant risk to American leadership. The White House told Politico it remains committed to balancing innovation and security in AI policymaking, and the proposal remains under consideration.
