Kept the White House Private Dinner last Thursday With some powerful people in artificial intelligence. Executives from Meta, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Openi, AMD, Oracle, and others were invited. These are the companies that are creating a basic system that gives strength to today’s AI. This includes everything from GPU hardware and model hosting platforms to developer tools and Chat GPT and Gemini Foundation models.
The program was formally declared a celebration of the gathering of the innovators and the leadership of the American AI. However, in fact, it was also a demonstration of support. Tech leaders indicated their alignment with the administration’s AI priorities, and in return, in the next months, they kept themselves in the position of access and influence.
Marti CEO Mark Zuckerberg sat near President Trump during a dinner, a detail that came to light his history. During his last period, Trump accused Zuckerberg of interfering in elections And said that they might spend the rest of their lives in jail. “During the event, the tension was not in the exhibition, and it seemed that both had put it behind. Zuckerberg was sitting at the guest list, which included infrastructure and other CEOs working with the administration on the national AI strategy.
Two key people were missing. Elon Musk did not attend, saying that he would send a representative instead. This move was not surprising Recent tensions between her and Trump. Kasturi posted on X that he was invited but he could not make it, and someone would go to his place. A White House official later confirmed that the invitation had been extended.
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, was also absent. His company is central to AI Boom and is directing the government directly with the government on supply chain and policy issues. There was no reason for his absence, but it was a room that was full of people that form the future of AI.
Open AI CEO Sam was full of praise of the President, and he jointly, “Thank you for being a supporter of the Invisation, supporting such a business. This is a very refreshing change. We are excited to see what you are doing to make our companies and our entire country so successful.”
“The investment that is being made here, the ability to regain the power of the industry in the United States, is going to prepare us for a long success that leads us to the world – and I don’t think this will happen without your leadership.”
Alfbit, Inc. and Google CEO Sunder Pachai also praised the administration’s efforts during the program. “The AI moment, none of us have seen or will see or see in our lives, so make sure the United States is at the forefront – and I think your administration is already investing a lot. AIA Action Plan, under your leadership, I think we have a good start to work.”
We know that AI is no longer just a tech problem. It is a geopolitical asset and economic driver. It is also a regulatory minefield. After Trump returns to the White House, many people in the tech sector are adjusting their currency. Companies that relies on access to federal agreements, export licenses, or critical AI hardware have severe concessions to align the goals of the current administration.
Whether it is moving on chips, affecting the development of manpower, or saving favorable treatment under the AI Safety Framework, access to power now plays a central role in forming results.
The White House had more on its schedule rather than just one dinner. Earlier that day, First Lady Melania Trump hosted a session focused on educating AI. The meeting included tech executives and leaders of education, all consider how to better prepare students due to artificial intelligence.

When Presidential AI Challenge It was announced. This is part of national pressure to get more AI tools in schools and help teachers feel confident of using them. Students will be encouraged to discover how AI works directly, while teachers help through training and resources.
Many major companies are supporting this effort. Microsoft offered free access to the co -pilot for college students and announced a reward grant for teachers going to the location. LinkedIn is providing free courses and certifications to help make more people’s skills that are linked to today’s job market.
In weeks to dinner, the Trump administration has taken a number of steps that show that it wants to be more than a regulator. From AI education programs to high -level decisions about chip exports, Trump has expressed personal interest in how the industry is being developed.
The Trump administration recently gave NVIDIA a green light to resume limited chip sales to China, but only under the US government to participate in taxes. This is a clear sign that the White House is not just looking at the AI’s economy – he wants a hand in steering it.
Pressure to overcome this place is a new step in the relationship between the government and the tech sector. For AI companies, which changes the whole equation. It is no longer just about compliance or lobbying. This is about staying close to the decision. Seeing on the table is now a strategic move, and companies do not want to take the risk of leaving.
