AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su discusses her thoughts on the AI revolution and her company’s role in ‘The Claman Countdown.’ As American leadership in artificial intelligence (AI) and the semiconductor industry remains a central economic and national security issue, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Chairman and CEO Lisa Su said she will attend President Donald Trump’s state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping. “I’m honored to say I’ll be at the dinner tomorrow night,” Su told FOX Business’ Liz Claman in a fireside chat Wednesday during a trip to the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate women in business. “It’s an honor… to be there.” “This summit between the presidents, President Xi and President Trump, is very impactful, very important. I think technology is one of those areas where we depend on the global ecosystem to bring us together. So yes, I think we are looking anxiously at what will come out of it. And the truth is that we want to make sure that there is good stability throughout the global ecosystem when it comes to technology.” DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS URGE TRUMP TO RETAIN BAN ON CHINESE CAR MANUFACTURERS AS HE PREPARES TO MEET The tech leaders’ planned attendance at the state dinner between Trump and Xi comes at a time of geopolitical tensions, including over the development of AI and access to both models and the chips that power them.

China’s access to specialized chips that power advanced AI models has been restricted by US controls on exports of advanced semiconductors, including those made by Nvidia. President Trump recently described AI as potentially the greatest industrial revolution in history. As demand for computing capacity grows, industry leaders face the dual responsibility of expanding American technology while establishing technical safeguards. FOX Business’ Edward Lawrence reports on the arrival of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to meet with China’s vice premiers. This comes ahead of President Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi JinPing. “I’m an AI optimist,” Su said. “You know, I’ll say this for sure… And I’m not just saying that because I’m a technology person. In terms of power, in terms of technology, and what I’ve seen throughout my career over the last 30 years, it’s the most powerful technology I’ve ever seen.” “He is aware that we must build trust in AI,” he continued. “It is absolutely non-negotiable that we must build trust in artificial intelligence.” Xi has not visited the country’s capital in more than a decade. President Donald Trump discusses artificial intelligence during a speech to the United Nations General Assembly. AI will be a major topic of discussion during the two-day summit, which officially begins Thursday morning and ends Friday evening, according to a senior administration official.
