U.S. and China hold first AI dialogue despite Trump's rejection of global oversight

The U.S. and China held their first AI dialogue this week, even as President Trump publicly rejects global AI oversight, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent proposing a notification mechanism for national security-related AI incidents. CEOs of top U.S. AI companies told the UN Security Council that AI threatens global security and urged shared rules, while China's President Xi Jinping emphasized keeping AI "under human control" during his White House visit. Trump, however, posted that he wants to leave AI "exactly where it is," citing the DOJ as the guardrail. China is building its own coalition on safe AI, launching the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization with 29 countries, while U.S. tech leaders like Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Nvidia's Jensen Huang downplay the need for industrywide coordination, contrasting with the CEOs' calls for regulation.
