Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, who has gained popularity with the personal AI agent 'Muse,' is expected to attend a dinner this week coinciding with the US-China summit, Bloomberg reported on September 22, citing sources.
The dinner, scheduled for September 24 at the White House, will include President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, along with representatives from major US tech companies. Notable attendees are expected to include Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA; Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm; Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Greg Brockman, President of OpenAI; Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft; Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon; Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla; Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google; and Tim Cook, Chairman of Apple’s board.
In contrast, the South China Morning Post reported on September 23 that key AI founders from companies like DeepMind and Moonshot AI will not be part of the Chinese delegation. However, last week, Reuters reported that representatives from major Chinese tech firms such as BYD, Xiaomi, and CATL might accompany the delegation, which could allow for their attendance at the dinner.
This dinner comes amid rising concerns about AI safety and the ongoing competition between the US and China in AI development. Notably, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, who has been a proponent of slowing down AI development, is not listed among the attendees, raising questions about potential discussions on aligning perspectives between the two nations in the AI sector.
Previously, President Trump opposed the idea of regulating the pace of AI development, arguing it could give China an advantage, while China dismissed such concerns as fearmongering.
Meanwhile, Meta's 'Muse,' launched on September 8 as the world's first personal AI agent for everyone, has surged in popularity, topping app downloads for iPhone and Google Android in the US. This has led to heightened expectations that the era of personal AI agents is officially beginning.
