Nvidia CEO Invited to White House Dinner Amid US-China AI Talks
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is set to attend a state dinner hosted by President Donald Trump for Chinese President Xi Jinping next week in Washington.
The dinner, scheduled for Thursday (September 24), marks part of Xi's visit to the White House, where discussions will focus on the state and future of artificial intelligence (AI).
Huang has been a vocal supporter of President Trump's stance against slowing down AI development. His company, Nvidia, is a key supplier of chips for AI developers and plays a significant role in the global discourse on AI technology.
The White House has not commented on the guest list for the dinner, but it is notable that state dinners are considered one of the highest diplomatic honors a U.S. president can bestow on a foreign leader, typically reserved for heads of allied nations. Hosting such an event for Xi highlights the complex relationship between the two countries.
