Trump rejects AI integration with China, citing US lead

President Donald Trump said Saturday that despite a "big talk" with Chinese President Xi Jinping on AI this week, the US should not integrate its Artificial Intelligence initiatives with China, citing American dominance in the field. Trump told reporters at the White House that China wants to stop US progress because America is "leading China by a lot," and he intends to keep it that way. He said the two leaders did not spend much time discussing the topic. The president argued that when you are leading, "you don't open it up to each other," reflecting his preference to maintain a competitive edge rather than collaborate with Beijing on the technology.
