Trump touts ‘great meeting’ with China’s Xi Jinping at White House – live
TL;DR
Xi Jinping says China and US must ensure AI ‘is always under human control’ and backs US-Iran deal to end war and reopen strait of Hormuz At Trump meeting, Xi lays out terms to avoid US-China military conflict In the first row in front of the leaders sit US vice-president JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance, Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her daughter Arabella, US secretary of state Marco Rubio, treasury secretary Scott Bessent, defence secretary Pete Hegseth and commerce secretary Howard Lutnick. Donald Trump is speaking now.
Nauti's Take
Having the two biggest AI powers name human control over AI as a shared goal is a real opportunity for binding safety standards. The catch: a statement on the sidelines of a summit about trade and war is no treaty yet, and nobody has said how control would be measured.
Anyone tracking AI governance should watch for concrete follow-up talks; everyone else can read the headline as a signal for now.
