US President Donald Trump to host distinguished group of IT CEOs to a dinner at the White House. Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and a dozen other leaders from the largest tech and artificial intelligence companies are expected to be on the guest list, the White House said.
Trump recently tiled over the green lawn in the Rose Garden, where the dinner would be hosted. The tables, chairs, and umbrellas there are quite identical to those at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
Meeting with the New Artificial Intelligence Education Task Force
After the event, First Lady Melania Trump will head the White House’s new Artificial Intelligence Education task committee. The task force conference, which aims to establish AI education for American youth, is anticipated to include at least some of the people who attended the dinner.
In a statement, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said that the White House’s Rose Garden Club is the most popular spot in Washington, if not the entire world. For this meal and many more to come, the president is excited to welcome leading figures in business, politics, and technology to the new, lovely Rose Garden terrace, Ingle added.
Confirmed Guest List
Google founder Sergey Brin and CEO Sundar Pichai, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and founder Greg Brockman, Oracle CEO Safra Catz, Blue Origin CEO David Limp, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, TIBCO Software chairman Vivek Ranadive, Palantir executive Shyam Sankar, Scale AI founder and CEO Alexandr Wang, and Shift4 Payments CEO Jared Isaacman are all scheduled to attend the dinner, according to the White House.
Trump nominated Isaacman, an associate of Musk, to head NASA but later withdrew the candidacy around the time of his split from Musk. Trump referred to Isaacman as “totally a Democrat” and stated that Musk was angry with him because of the revocation of the candidacy.
Musk Missing from the Guest List
Elon Musk, who was formerly a strong ally of Trump and was given the responsibility of leading the government-cutting Department of Government Efficiency, is one prominent figure missing from the guest list. Earlier this year, Musk and Trump had a public spat.
As a result, Sam Altman of OpenAI, one of Mr. Musk’s competitors in the field of artificial intelligence, has been added to the guest list. Participants in the new Artificial Intelligence Education task committee included Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, Arvind Krishna, the chairman and CEO of IBM, and Cameron Wilson, the president of Code.org.
