China and US to open AI incident communication channel

China and the United States have agreed to establish a communication channel for artificial intelligence incidents, as announced by the White House following Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit. China also committed to importing at least 10 million tons of U.S. coal in 2027 and 2028. The agreement was part of broader discussions between Donald Trump and Xi covering AI, trade, and the stalled conflict with Iran. Both leaders confirmed they will meet again at international summits this year, with Trump calling the three-day visit "a meeting of friendship, strength, and success." Xi emphasized earlier this week that humans maintain control over AI development and that both nations share responsibility for guiding the technology's progress responsibly.
