Trump and Xi Agree on AI Communication Channel in Washington

During a state visit to Washington, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to establish a communication channel for incidents involving artificial intelligence, also adopting Trump's term "superintelligence." The channel will enable regular exchanges on AI opportunities and risks, with the next talks scheduled by November. Both nations also agreed to avoid state regulation of the technology, relying instead on the US Justice Department as a safeguard. Xi's three-day visit was his first to Washington in over a decade. The agreement reflects intense competition between the world's leading AI powers, with the channel potentially preventing dangerous escalations, similar to Cold War nuclear arms control.
