Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is expected to attend a state dinner hosted by President Donald Trump for Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to an unnamed source close to the situation. This event is scheduled to take place on September 24, when Trump is set to meet with Xi in Washington, D.C. Huang’s inclusion in this high-profile gathering comes at a time when public concern about the risks of artificial intelligence is increasing. As a leading manufacturer of critical chips used by AI developers, Nvidia plays a pivotal role in the global AI landscape, making it a focal point in international discussions on the technology. The United States and China are the two major global powers driving the development and use of advanced AI tools. State dinners, which are among the highest diplomatic honors a U.S. president can offer to a foreign leader, are typically reserved for heads of allied nations. Hosting such an event for Xi Jinping is particularly notable, given that Trump often refers to China as a rival. This is not the first time Huang has attended a state dinner involving Trump and Xi. In May, when Trump visited China, Xi hosted a state dinner for him, which Huang attended alongside other prominent business leaders like Elon Musk of SpaceX and Tim Cook of Apple. Trump has hosted only one state dinner since the start of his second term, which was for Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla. His press team has not yet responded to inquiries about why Jensen Huang was included on the guest list for the upcoming dinner with Xi Jinping. The inclusion of a major tech executive in such a high-level diplomatic event underscores the increasing importance of the tech sector in international relations, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence.
