The White House lunch gathered key tech executives as Congress reviews AI legislation.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with President Donald Trump at the White House on September 29, 2026. The lunch discussion also included Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei alongside other artificial intelligence leaders.
The industry executives were also scheduled to hold separate meetings on Capitol Hill with members of Congress. Lawmakers have introduced various measures regarding the sector, including proposals by Senator Bernie Sanders and a bipartisan bill by Representative Ted Lieu and Nathan Moran that includes a kill switch provision for AI models.
Immediate legislative action remains unlikely because the House of Representatives is in recess until after the midterm elections, and the Senate is preparing to recess as well. However, a Senate subcommittee scheduled a hearing titled "Rogue AI: Securing the Homeland Against AI Agent Attacks" for later in the week to hear from third-party artificial intelligence researchers.
