WORLDTECHTrump’s China rivalry and “AI race” delusion may endanger US, experts say
Single source: this development was reported by Ars Technica. What WORLDTECH can establish is that the report was made, and by whom. It has not been matched against a second independent organisation and has not been officially confirmed by the organisations involved.
What happened
This week, the US and China, the two world leaders on AI, finally started talks meant to keep the whole world safe from emerging safety risks. Before Trump and Xi meet on Thursday and Friday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that both sides had already discussed setting up a new AI safety notification mechanism.
But whether meetings between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping can lead to a reliable global governance framework for AI depends on how much the fierce rivals are actually willing to cooperate. It's clear Trump wants it to seem like discussions are going well.
