Trump and Xi fail to reach AI breakthrough at summit

usatoday.com —

President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping did not reach a breakthrough agreement on artificial intelligence during their summit, though Trump said both leaders support renaming the technology "superintelligence" or "SI." Trump told reporters on Sept. 26 that the U.S. will not slow its AI development, dismissing safety warnings as exaggerated and claiming America leads China by one to two years. He said the two leaders spent little time discussing the technology itself. The summit included a state dinner attended by major tech executives like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg. Trump reiterated his stance at the United Nations, calling AI safety warnings a hoax and vowing not to stifle technological growth.
