The CEOs of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (GOOGL), AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) and several other technology companies are slated to meet with President Biden on Friday to discuss a number of topics, including artificial intelligence.
In addition to Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai and Dr. Lisa Su, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) CEO and Chairman Satya Nadella and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are in Washington to meet with President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in town to attend a state dinner. The two countries are working to further deepen economic ties.
In addition to discussing AI, the tech execs are also slated to discuss manufacturing and innovation, the White House said.
In April, the Biden Administration laid out a formal request for comment to look into potential regulation for AI products and services amid concerns about development in the industry.
The Commerce Department's request came after President Biden met with his science and technology advisers at the White House to discuss the "risks and opportunities" that stem from artificial intelligence.
Following the meeting, President Biden said it remains to be seen whether AI is dangerous, but added that it "could be."
Tech luminaries such as Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and others wrote an open letter in March to call for a six-month pause in the development of many AI tools in order to develop new safety standards for the technology.
That same month, OpenAI came out with GPT-4, its latest chatbot update, and claimed the technology could score higher on the SAT exam than 90% of all test takers.
Microsoft (MSFT) made a "multi-year, multi-billion" dollar investment into OpenAI in January. Since then, the tech giant has integrated ChatGPT technology into many of its products, including its Bing search engine.
