OpenAI chief Brockman invited to Trump–Xi dinner amid AI policy push

OpenAI President Greg Brockman is expected to join other tech leaders at the White House state dinner for Xi Jinping. Brockman and his wife donated $25 million to MAGA Inc in 2025 in a personal capacity, not on behalf of OpenAI. The dinner underscores ongoing U.S. concerns about AI national-security risks and competitiveness with China, with leaders and policymakers discussing AI governance and safety standards ahead of Xi’s visit.
