Debate on AI regulation and development
The upcoming dinner comes amid a growing debate over artificial intelligence (AI) and its regulation.
Last week, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for an industry-wide slowdown in AI development, citing risks such as large-scale cyberattacks.
The Trump administration has opposed further regulation or a US slowdown in developing the technology, fearing it could give China an edge.
China has also criticized Amodei's comments as "fearmongering."
