Outlets agree that President Donald Trump met with technology executives at the White House and endorsed a voluntary accord establishing self-regulation principles for artificial intelligence. Left-leaning outlets focus on internal Republican divisions, highlighting Sen. Josh Hawley's push for binding safety legislation over Trump's voluntary standards. Center outlets center on congressional pushback, contrasting the administration's voluntary framework with Democratic calls for federal guardrails.
