Nvidia CEO Huang set to attend Trump state dinner for Xi: CNBC, Reuters

Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, is reportedly set to attend a state dinner hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump in honor of Chinese President Xi Jinping next week, according to multiple media outlets. The dinner is scheduled for September 24, as Xi visits Washington for talks with Trump on various topics, including economic and technology issues.

AI is expected to be one of the key subjects of discussion during the meeting between the two world leaders. This attendance would mark a significant diplomatic event, given Huang's role as a leading figure in the U.S. artificial intelligence industry. The event also comes amid ongoing debates over AI's rapid advancement and the intensifying technology competition between the United States and China, both of which are prominent players in the development and deployment of advanced AI systems.

Huang has a history of close ties with Trump, having traveled with the president to China earlier this year and attending a state dinner with Xi during Trump's visit to China in May. Other notable attendees at the May dinner included Elon Musk and former Apple CEO Tim Cook. As of now, the White House has not commented on Huang's expected presence at the upcoming dinner.
