Mark Zuckerberg Snubbed For White House AI Summit

Mark Zuckerberg was absent from Vice President Kamala Harris' artificial intelligence meeting at the White House.

Harris met with heads of four AI-invested companies to discuss risks associated with the technology.

An official stated the meeting was focused on companies currently leading in the space.

The meeting involved OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Google/Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai.

President Joe Biden also appeared at the meeting.

Zuckerberg emphasized Meta's commitment to AI during Facebook's recent earnings call.

In August 2021, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose carmaker is a leader in the electric vehicle field, was not invited to a meeting with President Biden on the topic.
