Big Tech CEOs meet with Biden and Harris to discuss AI development.

Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, and OpenAI declined to share details about their meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris on artificial intelligence (AI) and how high-level political interest in AI might shape the way they develop this new capability. The White House revealed that President Biden made a surprise appearance and emphasized the need for companies to ensure their AI products are safe and secure before they are deployed or made public. The lack of any significant statement from the companies left only the White House statement as a guide to how the AI experts approached the meeting.
