Xi and Trump Establish Artificial Intelligence Dialogue Framework, Emphasizing Cooperation Over Competition

China's Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed Thursday to establish a formal intergovernmental dialogue on artificial intelligence, signaling a pivot toward managed coexistence on a technology both nations view as strategically critical. During Xi's state visit to the White House, the Chinese leader said that while the U.S. and China compete in AI, "there is even greater scope for cooperation," and called on both countries to jointly guard against the misuse of AI rather than "guarding against each other."
