the limitless ambition of one of Silicon Valley's AI giants and the power we have to shape it.
Already the 47th president has been at work signing a lot of executive orders.
It's my honour to welcome three of the world's leading technology CEOs.
January 21st this year, the first full day of Donald Trump's second term.

Trump in the Oval Office, standing with the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman.
By far the leading expert based on everything I read,
