Trump to Hold AI Meeting Today with Heads of Anthropic, OpenAI, and Others

U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to have a luncheon with the heads of major artificial intelligence companies on the 29th, local time.

According to Reuters and other sources on the 28th, the White House luncheon will be attended by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and OpenAI President Greg Brockman, along with House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and xAI CEO Elon Musk are also known to be potential attendees.

At the White House luncheon, the heads of the AI companies are expected to share their views on the risks of AI technology and policy directions.

Anthropic and OpenAI have recently pointed out the risks of AI technology and advocated for a slower pace of development, whereas Meta has taken a different stance by focusing on the positive benefits that AI can bring.

President Trump and Speaker Johnson have also previously expressed skeptical or critical views regarding the idea of slowing down AI development, taking into consideration the competitive landscape with China.

Speaker Johnson stated that during the White House luncheon, President Trump and the AI company CEOs will focus on finding a balance between AI innovation and oversight.

In an interview with the Fox Business Network, Speaker Johnson said, "An AI pause or excessive regulation is not needed. If we do that, we will fall behind in the competition with China."

Johnson added, "It is important to continue innovation, but we must find the right balance," while acknowledging the need for transparency and oversight.

CEO Amodei also visited the White House on the 27th to have a private dinner with President Trump.

Prior to this, on the 24th, Meta CEO Zuckerberg and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, alongside other tech company chiefs, attended a state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit to the United States.

Meanwhile, on the day of the luncheon, a launch event for "America.gov," a new AI-powered website integrating services and information from various government agencies, will be held at the National Design Studio within the White House.

President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Jensen Huang, and Elon Musk are expected to attend the event.
