Trump and Xi to discuss AI risks ahead of summit
Leaders from the United States and China will discuss artificial intelligence when Chinese President Xi visits Washington on Sept. 24 after fresh warnings from industry figures and researchers about catastrophic AI risks. The meeting follows public calls for slowing development from figures such as Anthropic’s chief and a researcher warning about existential threats, and pushback from Beijing and President Trump, who has called those threats a “hoax.” U.S. officials including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent signaled openness to talks, while analysts say the realistic near-term outcome is establishing a durable channel, not a sweeping agreement.
U.S. and China may open AI dialogue but likely no major pact.
