Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to visit Washington next week for a summit with United States President Donald Trump. In conjunction with the visit, the White House has invited several prominent technology leaders to attend a state dinner, according to reports from Agence France-Presse.
The guest list for the event includes Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. The dinner takes place amid ongoing tensions between the United States and China regarding competition in the artificial intelligence and semiconductor sectors, as the U.S. maintains restrictions on China’s access to advanced AI chips.
In an interview with CBS ahead of the summit, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that the AI industry should advance as quickly as possible. Huang noted that while companies should not slow down due to the progress of others, they remain committed to ensuring products are safe and ready before release.
The rapid development of AI and its associated risks have become a subject of debate within the U.S. technology sector. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has previously advocated for a slower pace of development to address safety concerns. Conversely, President Trump has characterized concerns regarding AI risks as a hoax, urging American companies to continue their progress to maintain a competitive lead over China.
