China and US Establish AI Dialogue Framework, Pledging Joint Responsibility for Development and Control

President Xi Jinping and Donald Trump agreed during their Washington summit to establish a bilateral dialogue on artificial intelligence, framing the technology as a shared global responsibility requiring human oversight and cooperation between the world's two leading AI powers. During the three-day state visit concluding September 26, Xi declared that China and the United States possess "both the capability and responsibility to develop and manage AI for good" and that the development of artificial intelligence must remain "always under human control, and serve the well-being of the people." The two leaders formally launched the U.S.-China Super Intelligence (SI) Dialogue to exchange views on systemic risks and national security benefits of advanced AI models, with the first substantive bilateral exchanges scheduled by November 2026.
