The post Trump and Musk dine with Microsoft CEO to discuss AI, cybersecurity and American jobs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Microsoft Corp.’s Satya Nadella joins Donald Trump and Elon Musk for the discussion of AI and cybersecurity as the latest tech industry leader to make ties with the new administration.  According to a Semafor report, Microsoft said that the conversation was based on several topics, including the US firm’s pledge to invest $80 billion in AI data centers globally. According to the statement, over $50 billion of that investment is expected to support American jobs. Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, attended the meeting with Microsoft President Brad Smith. Microsoft CEO advised Trump not to rush into heavy regulations Despite clashing often during his first term, Silicon Valley has been mending relations with Trump since his victory last November. To prepare for the new term, the president-elect and Musk have held multiple private discussions and dinners at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The incoming Trump administration has been advised not to rush into “heavy-handed regulations” over AI. According to Bloomberg, Smith wrote this month that “The most important US public-policy priority should be to ensure that the US private sector can continue to advance with the wind at its back.” He added that America needs “a pragmatic export control policy that balances strong security protection for AI components in trusted data centers” with the ability for U.S. companies to rapidly grow and meet the immediate need to help fill the gap of responsible high-quality suppliers to the many countries which are U.S. allies and friends.
