NOS23 September · 09:1520 hours ago

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to discuss artificial intelligence regulation during their upcoming meeting, with Washington proposing a hotline to share information on severe AI threats. While AI executives warn that rapid development could lead to catastrophic outcomes or even human extinction, both leaders view these warnings as exaggerated and remain committed to winning the AI race. Experts like Koen Aartsma suggest that bilateral agreements are possible, citing precedents with nuclear weapons, though challenges regarding attribution and dual-use technology persist. Meanwhile, Chinese experts express skepticism toward US safety narratives, viewing them as politically motivated ahead of elections, while emphasizing China's focus on practical AI integration.
