Administration officials in attendance, including Vice President Harris, plan to reiterate this message to the executives during Thursday’s meeting, according to a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the White House’s plans.
On Thursday morning, the administration also announced a new investment in “trustworthy” AI alongside voluntary commitments from major tech companies to participate in a public assessment of their AI systems at an upcoming cybersecurity conference. The Office of Management and Budget will also release draft guidance of ways federal agencies should use AI systems.

These institutes are focused on advancing artificial intelligence research in areas ranging from public health to cybersecurity. The investment is just a fraction of the billions that private sector companies are pouring into advancing the technology. Microsoft previously invested $10 billion in OpenAI.
