3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Sep 28

Summary

  • Mark Zuckerberg, Dario Amodei, Sundar Pichai, Jensen Huang and Greg Brockman are expected at a Tuesday luncheon with President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
  • The meeting is part of an all-day White House event unveiling a new federal information website, with panel discussions on AI, energy and space; Vice President JD Vance and other officials will also attend.
  • AI safety tensions are driving the gathering, with Anthropic's Amodei seen as seeking to ease strains after Trump dismissed AI fears as a "hoax" and a "scam."
  • That debate has widened after a former Anthropic researcher accused frontier labs of "gambling with our lives," while figures including Sam Altman and Elon Musk have backed calls to slow advanced AI development.
