Trump Calls Sundar Pichai a 'Monster', Google CEO Quips Back at White House Event

US President Donald Trump hosted an event at the White House where he met with leading AI company executives. During the meeting, Trump jokingly referred to Google CEO Sundar Pichai as a 'monster' due to his stature and success.

Pichai responded with a witty quip, saying 'Hopefully a better tagline than I'm a monster!'

The meeting aimed at addressing concerns over AI technology led to the signing of a voluntary accord. The agreement includes internal and external reviews, as well as cooperation with an independent auditor.

Trump praised the executives for developing a technology that would deliver 'unbelievable growth', while highlighting the economic impact of investment in data centres and related computer equipment.
