  "summary": "US President Donald Trump recently hosted a gathering of influential technology executives at the White House, amid growing concerns about the potential risks and impacts of artificial intelligence. According to The National Business and The National UAE, Trump dismissed fears about AI as \"a hoax,\" despite concerns about its potential impact on the labour market, environmental impacts of data centres, and AI-induced cybersecurity incidents.\n\nThe meeting included executives such as Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, and Google's Sundar Pichai. At the event, Huang and other executives reportedly questioned Amodei about his public warnings on AI risks, with Amodei responding that it's essential to be honest about the technology's capabilities, as per the Wall Street Journal.\n\nTrump announced plans to create a 10-person committee to oversee the AI sector and signed an executive order rebranding AI as \"super intelligence.\" The executives present signed a \"morally binding\" agreement, although details were not provided.",
