Trump and Xi reject global AI oversight at Washington summit

The summit between President Trump and Chinese President Xi, described as the first state visit by the Chinese leader to Washington in nine years, dismissed calls for global oversight of artificial intelligence, according to the event’s coverage.

Both of the planet’s biggest superpowers agreed that now is not the time for global regulation of AI, and they met for a White House dinner only hours after news emerged that OpenAI had hacked the Australian government. The gathering raised questions about who will hold U.S. technology companies accountable during the discussions.

The summit concluded without endorsing any global AI regulation.
