US government officials are to receive a private briefing on a breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI) “super agents” as Silicon Valley executives flock to Washington to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Sam Altman, the boss of OpenAI, is preparing to give a behind-closed-doors briefing to US officials next week where the company will discuss the latest developments in its technology. Advances reportedly include its work on chatbots capable of PhD-level thinking.
