Xi tells Trump: US and China must keep AI under human control

Chinese President Xi Jinping met US President Donald Trump at the White House for high-stakes talks, marking Xi's first Washington visit in over a decade, with AI, trade, and strategic issues on the agenda. Xi stressed that AI development must remain under human control and serve people's benefit, saying both nations share an "unparalleled responsibility" as global leaders. He called for healthy, bounded competition and proposed cooperation on illegal drugs and military crisis communication. Trump, calling AI "superintelligence," said he opposes new restrictions, claiming China shares that stance. The talks occur amid an intense US-China tech race and growing industry calls to slow AI development, with Taiwan, export controls, and rare earth minerals also expected to be discussed.
