Trump to host Big Tech CEOs in White House's redone rose garden U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, are hosting an artificial intelligence event for tech CEOs on Thursday at the newly renovated garden. Tech industry leaders including Meta Platforms's Mark Zuckerberg, Apple's Tim Cook, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella are expected to attend an artificial intelligence event hosted by U.S. first lady Melania Trump on Thursday and then join U.S. President Donald Trump for an evening reception in the White House's newly renovated rose garden. Other attendees are expected to include OpenAI's Sam Altman, Alphabet's Sergey Brin and Sundar Pichai, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, a White House official said. Alexandr Wang, who recently joined Meta's AI effort, is also among the invitees. The first lady announced last month that she was launching a presidential challenge to encourage students to use emerging AI technology to find solutions to community challenges. The effort will also encourage educators to adopt AI in the classroom, the White House has said.

'Han the Robot' (R) speaks while chief scientist of Hanson Robotics, Ben Goertzel (C), listens during a discussion about the future of humanity in a demonstration of artificial intelligence (AI) by Hanson Robotics at the RISE Technology Conference in Hong Kong on July 12, 2017.

We believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) will usher the next revolution in technology and accelerate the disruptions in almost every industry and that France, one of the leading countries in AI, has a very rich ecosystem. This event – organized by ISAI, BPIfrance and La French Tech – aims at gathering all the players (startups, tech companies, research centers, meetups…) to support the ecosystem. At the end of the event, we will also publish a comprehensive landscape of the AI startups and ecosystem and will promote it both in France and the US.
