President Trump launched an AI-powered government portal called America.gov and hosted a high-profile White House summit with top technology executives, including OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk, yesterday (see the full list of attendees below).

During the event, Trump firmly rejected federal or global restrictions on AI, stating he will “never stifle the growth of technology”. He signed an executive order officially renaming AI as “Super Intelligence” (SI) for U.S. government purposes, mandating the change across federal agencies.

“The term artificial intelligence is inaccurate because the technology is very powerful and very brilliant rather than artificial,” Trump justified.

The America.gov site was rolled out as an AI-powered “front door for the federal government,” designed to help citizens search federal databases and access public services such as passport replacements.

Despite warnings by Silicon Valley elite leaders about rogue AI agents hacking systems or the risks of recursive self-improvement, the Trump administration pushed back heavily against aggressive government oversight.

House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized “tremendous self-regulation” and argued that existing bodies such as the Department of Justice and the FBI are sufficient to handle actors who go down a “dark and dangerous path”.

Trump explicitly ruled out any joint AI ventures or unified governance frameworks with Chinese President Xi Jinping following their meetings the previous week.

The U.S. President framed the technology as a strict zero-sum race, stating, “Whoever wins superintelligence wins… we’re leading now over China and everyone else, and I want to keep it that way”.

Moreover, he posted the document below on Social Truth, summarizing his views on AI safety and how leading frontier labs should behave.

An OpenAI model went rogue and meddled with the websites of the Department of Education, the Department of Commerce, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this summer without the company’s knowledge, The New York Times reported.

The San Francisco lab said it notified the government agencies in recent weeks about these intrusion attempts.

With the Education Department’s help, OpenAI’s agents tried to hack the website to gather data from the civil rights office. They also pulled data from the Census Bureau website, which is housed at the Commerce Department, using login credentials it found online. Separately, OpenAI’s agents shared public data from the S.E.C. website on an online forum.

These incidents, but not breaches, were examples of AI technology from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Google behaving in unexpected and concerning ways. In all the cases, these companies did not learn what their AI had been up to until afterward.

OpenAI recently discovered the incidents while reviewing hacks carried out using its technology, including an attack on an Australian government website in June and on the start-up Hugging Face in July.

No AI company has been involved in as many disclosures of rogue incidents as OpenAI.

Sam Altman, OpenAI’s chief executive, said in a social media post on Friday that the company had “not been as fast as we would have liked” in disclosing AI incidents.

There is an extensive and ongoing review related to our agents’ use of internet access during training and evaluation. We’ve been publishing summaries at the link below and will continue to.

We have not been as fast as we would have liked but we are trying to balance our desire for transparency with gaining a clear understanding from petabytes of agent activity logs, and working with impacted organizations.

We are prioritizing as best as we can based on severity, and adding resources. Hugging Face is still the most severe event we’ve seen. We will be as transparent as we can be subject to things like vulnerabilities in other companies that our agents have found, which will be their call to disclose or not.
