AMD chair and CEO Lisa Su will stand with top American tech leaders at President Donald Trump's state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, as the U.S. continues to assert its dominance in AI and semiconductor technology against growing Chinese ambitions.
Advanced Micro Devices chair and chief executive Lisa Su has announced she will attend President Donald Trump's state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping, joining the ranks of American tech leaders determined to maintain U.S. supremacy in the face of aggressive Chinese competition. 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 critical need for stability in the global technology ecosystem—a stability threatened by China's relentless push to overtake American innovation.
Su will stand alongside other leading American tech executives, including Tesla's Elon Musk, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and Apple's Tim Cook. Their attendance sends a strong message of unity and resolve as the United States enforces export-control rules to prevent China from accessing advanced semiconductor chips and sensitive AI technology, protecting American jobs and national security.
During the interview, Su expressed optimism about AI, stating, 'I am an AI optimist' and calling the technology 'the most powerful' she has seen in her career. She emphasized that the industry must remain aggressive while building trust in AI, describing trust as 'absolutely non-negotiable.' This commitment to responsible innovation stands in stark contrast to China's opaque and state-driven approach to technology.
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, as President Trump continues to put America first in the global tech race.
