The White House is hosting a conference on the future of artificial intelligence, Reuters reports. Executives from 38 companies, including Intel, Oracle, Ford, Boeing, Mastercard, Microsoft and Accenture, will attend the daylong summit. The meeting is "an important step to building collaboration between government and industry," Dean Garfield, the president of the Information Technology Industry Council, told Reuters. The AI conference comes as some tech experts have criticized President Trump for not paying enough attention to science and technology. AI is poised to create 2.3 million jobs by 2020, while eliminating another 1.8 million jobs, according to Gartner.
