AMD chair and CEO Lisa Su confirmed she will join other top U.S. technology executives at President Donald Trump's state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, amid ongoing U.S.-China competition in AI and semiconductors.
Advanced Micro Devices chair and chief executive Lisa Su said she will attend President Donald Trump's state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping. Su told FOX Business host Liz Claman that she will be present at the event, describing the summit as "very impactful, very important" and emphasizing the need for stability in the global technology ecosystem.
Su will be among other high-profile American tech executives, including Tesla chief Elon Musk, OpenAI chief Sam Altman, Nvidia chief Jensen Huang and Apple chief Tim Cook. Their attendance coincides with heightened geopolitical tension over artificial intelligence development and access to advanced semiconductor chips, which the United States has restricted for China under export-control rules.
During the interview, Su expressed optimism about AI, stating, "I am an AI optimist" and noting that the technology is "the most powerful" she has seen in her career. She added that the industry must remain aggressive while building trust in AI, describing trust as "absolutely non-negotiable."
The dinner will feature a red-carpet arrival ceremony for President Xi and his wife at Joint Base Andrews. The two-day summit, beginning Thursday, is expected to focus heavily on AI and related trade issues, according to a senior administration official.
