The White House announced funding for AI initiatives prior to the meeting, emphasizing their commitment to supporting research and development in this field. Topics discussed during the gathering included AI system transparency, safety evaluation, and securing AI from malicious actors. Both parties agreed that further work is needed to ensure proper safeguards and protections for AI, although specific details about these measures were not shared at this time.
Interestingly, Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg was conspicuously absent from the meeting, raising questions about the company's standing within the AI community. When asked about Zuckerberg's absence, a White House official explained that the focus was on “companies currently leading in the space.”
It seems that Meta, despite its numerous AI projects and research, hasn't quite made it to the AI A-list just yet.
