WASHINGTON, Sept 12 (Reuters) - Executives from Open AI,

Google and Anthropic will meet with senior U.S. officials at the

White House on Thursday to discuss the energy resources and

infrastructure needed to power AI, CNN reported, citing a person

familiar with the matter.

Open AI CEO Sam Altman, Google senior executive Ruth Porat

and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei are among the tech company

representatives expected to attend as well as Energy Secretary

Jennifer Granholm and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo,

according to the CNN.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan as well as White

House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and National Economic Council

Director Lael Brainard will attend, along with top Biden

administration climate officials, CNN said.

Representatives for the White House and the Department

of Energy could not immediately be reached for comment.

"President Biden and Vice President Harris are committed

to deepening US leadership in AI by ensuring data centers are

built in the United States while ensuring the technology is

developed responsibly," White House spokesperson Robyn Patterson

said in the CNN report.

Generative artificial intelligence, or AI, can create

text, photos and videos in response to open-ended prompts. It

has generated buzz about its potential uses such as relieving

mundane tasks but also prompted fears about potential misuse.

It also affects the energy and metals industry as U.S.

technology companies seek to secure a

shrinking supply of electricity

for their rapidly expanding artificial intelligence and

cloud computing data centers.
