Xi Jinping Calls for US-China Cooperation on AI During White House Meeting
During a meeting at the White House, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized cooperation over competition with U.S. President Donald Trump regarding artificial intelligence (AI). According to state media reports translated by CNBC, Xi highlighted that both nations can continue dialogue and work together to prevent misuse or malicious use of AI technology. Xi also stressed the importance of maintaining human control over AI systems and ensuring they support societal progress. The meeting comes amid ongoing U.S.-China trade negotiations involving AI, with recent restrictions placed on China's access to advanced semiconductors for training AI models. Both sides have expressed concerns about autonomous AI potentially enabling faster or harder-to-contain attacks. The U.S. has previously criticized Chinese companies over alleged illicit distillation of American AI capabilities and restricted semiconductor exports.
