Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will attend a White House state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping on September 24. Apple Executive Chairman Tim Cook is also expected to participate in the event.
The gathering occurs amid persistent geopolitical tensions regarding international trade and dominance in artificial intelligence. AI is expected to be a central topic of discussion during the meeting.
The dinner serves as a return visit following a summit held in Beijing in May. White House officials invited the executives to support the president’s priority of securing favorable national trade deals.
