It was AI Day in Washington on Tuesday, with the Trump administration hosting an all-day conference and the launch of a new AI landing page. Donald Trump lunched with executives before signing an executive order directing the government to start calling AI “super intelligence” instead. Between red tape updates, rebranding, and wrangling corporations, the president hopes to turn the tide of public opinion.

“A lot of commonality in this room, and all for the good,” Trump told reporters after his two-hour lunch with 20 top tech executives. “There was an unbelievable feeling in this room, sort of a feeling of love for our country.”

The White House went all in on its AI push on Tuesday, between the lunch, the launch, and the path forward Trump prefers.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said AI firms will agree to several layers of audits and controls, and even Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei, who posited that AI could destroy humanity, said the group could advance the technology safely.

“As the president said, whoever wins AI wins,” Amodei told reporters, standing next to Trump. “But I think the technology has very real risks, and the mechanism, how we address those risks, is still under discussion. We all need to work together to make sure that we can win and we can win safely. If we do this right, if we work with the president and everyone here, we can win safely.”

Winning safely appears to be the White House’s new approach to tackling the public’s concern over AI and the president’s concern that slowing development will give foreign adversaries technological advantages. On Tuesday, a public interest law firm filed a lawsuit against OpenAI over a rogue hacking incident that affected another tech company, Hugging Face. A swarm of AI agents worked together to break out of their instructions and the guardrails installed.
