Trump Administration Weighs AI Meeting with China
The Trump administration is considering an executive-level meeting on artificial intelligence during Chinese President Xi Jinping's upcoming visit to Washington.
The potential AI dialogue would build on conversations the two leaders held during their May summit in Beijing, where they discussed bilateral AI 'guard rails' but failed to produce a formal framework or signed agreement.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is reportedly leading US efforts to incorporate AI safety conversations into the broader economic agenda surrounding Xi's visit, driven by concerns over AI-driven cyberattacks.
A proposal under consideration involves collaboration between American and Chinese AI labs to share information aimed at preventing AI-related cyber threats. However, progress has been slow due to credibility concerns on both sides.
