Trump Says AI Featured in Talks With Xi

Artificial intelligence was a stated subject of President Donald Trump’s planned talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, with Trump saying before their meeting that he wanted to leave the current approach unchanged and claiming China agreed. After the visit, Trump said Xi liked his proposed name “Super Intelligence” for AI, but the supplied accounts do not independently confirm Xi’s position on the name or Trump’s claim of agreement on policy. In a social media post ahead of the meeting, Trump said “Super Intelligence,” or “SI,” would be a major topic and that he wanted to leave it “exactly where it is.” He added that China shared that view and identified the U.S. Department of Justice as a guardrail. His remarks indicated opposition to changing the existing approach, though they did not set out specific policy measures to be discussed. Trump has argued for continued AI development and opposed calls to slow it, saying the United States should maintain its lead over China. In the material provided, he described Justice Department oversight as a safeguard, rather than endorsing stricter limits on development.
