Tech industry leaders including Meta Platforms’s Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Tim Cook, and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella are expected to attend an artificial intelligence event hosted by U.S. first lady Melania Trump on Thursday and then join U.S. President Donald Trump for an evening reception in the White House's newly renovated rose garden.
Other attendees are expected to include OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Alphabet’s Sergey Brin and Sundar Pichai, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, a White House official said. Alexandr Wang, who recently joined Meta’s AI effort, is also among the invitees.
The first lady announced last month that she was launching a presidential challenge to encourage students to use emerging AI technology to find solutions to community challenges. The effort will also encourage educators to adopt AI in the classroom, the White House has said.
