Trump and Xi Meet in US: Discuss AI Risks but No Restrictions Agreed
Ahead of the summit between Presidents Trump and Xi in Washington, both nations remain focused on dominating artificial intelligence rather than restricting its development. While Trump stated he will not curb AI growth despite risks, experts note that mutual distrust prevents concrete safety agreements similar to Cold War nuclear treaties. Although US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated openness to dialogue on shared risks following talks with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, analysts doubt meaningful concessions will emerge. Concerns are rising as AI errors nearly triggered military incidents, with polls showing 63% of Americans fear existential threats from the technology.
