Trump rejects AI integration with China, citing US lead in super intelligence

President Donald Trump said Saturday the US should not integrate artificial intelligence efforts with China, citing American dominance in the technology, despite a "big talk" with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week. Trump told reporters at the White House that Beijing wants to "stop our progress" because the US leads China "by a lot" in super intelligence, and he intends to maintain that edge. He said the two leaders spent little time on the topic during their discussion. The remarks follow Trump and Xi's broader bilateral review, where both vowed to chart a future course over common interests. Trump argued that "when you're leading, you don't open it up to each other," rejecting any joint AI initiatives.
