China, US to open AI ‘communication channel’ after summit, White House says

The United States and China agreed to establish a ‘communication channel’ for AI incidents after a summit in Washington, according to the White House. During the meeting, Trump and Xi Jinping discussed topics including AI, trade, and the Iran conflict, and confirmed they would meet again at international summits in China and the US. The summit was described as more ceremonial than productive, with both sides extending a trade truce until January. Trump said the visit strengthened his personal rapport with Xi, which would benefit the US in the long run, while Xi emphasized the importance of healthy competition and shared responsibility in AI development.
