OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to Attend State Dinner at Trump-Xi Summit
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, is expected to attend President Donald Trump's state dinner during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington. The event coincides with ongoing debates in the U.S. and Silicon Valley about AI regulation following concerns over safety risks and calls for slowing down frontier model development. Artificial intelligence is anticipated to be a key topic of discussion between Trump and Xi, especially as China’s open-weight models continue improving and narrowing the gap with leading American labs like OpenAI. Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang will also attend the dinner, highlighting the involvement of major tech figures in high-level diplomatic events. The White House emphasized that Trump is inviting prominent business leaders to prioritize securing favorable deals for the U.S., amid a growing divide between AI safety advocates and industry leaders.
