Trump and Xi to Discuss AI Development With Focus on Maintaining Status Quo

U.S. President Donald Trump said artificial intelligence—which his administration is rebranding as 'super intelligence'—will be a major discussion point during his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but emphasized both countries prefer to leave the technology unregulated. Trump announced before the high-stakes Washington meeting on September 24 that 'Super Intelligence (SI) will be a big topic of discussion, but I want to leave it exactly where it is,' and claimed that Xi shares this position. Rather than pursuing new regulatory frameworks, Trump indicated the Department of Justice would serve as the primary guardrail for AI development.
