Leaders from the tech industry have been invited to a meeting at the White House to discuss artificial intelligence (AI). The meeting will be attended by Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, as well as other top executives from Amazon, IBM, Oracle and Qualcomm.
The meeting is part of President Donald Trump’s effort to promote American leadership in AI technology. It comes after he signed an executive order last month that called for federal agencies to prioritize research into AI technologies.
The White House has said it wants the U.S. to remain competitive with China and other countries in developing AI technology for use in areas such as healthcare, transportation and energy production.
At the meeting on Thursday, Pichai and Nadella are expected to discuss how their companies can help support this effort through investments in research and development or partnerships with government agencies or universities. They may also talk about ways they can work together on initiatives like data privacy regulations or ethical standards for using AI technology responsibly.
In addition, there could be discussions about how best to ensure that America remains a leader in innovation while protecting its citizens’ rights when it comes to using new technologies like AI algorithms for decision-making processes like hiring decisions or loan approvals.
The gathering follows similar meetings between tech leaders and government officials over the past year on topics such as immigration reform and net neutrality rules — both of which were ultimately overturned by Congress or courts following intense lobbying efforts by Silicon Valley firms including Google, Facebook and Microsoft .
It’s unclear what specific outcomes might come out of Thursday’s meeting but it appears likely that some kind of agreement will be reached between tech giants like Google , Microsoft , Amazon , IBM , Oracle , Qualcomm etc., who are all looking towards making sure America stays ahead when it comes Artificial Intelligence Technologies .
