The world freaked out about AI doomsday. Now what?
TL;DR
Donald Trump and Xi Jinping will meet each other next week, but it’s unlikely they’ll agree to AI regulation Hello, and welcome to TechScape. I’m your host, Blake Montgomery, US tech editor at the Guardian, writing to you while reading and disagreeing with Jenny Odell’s 2019 book How to Do Nothing. I’m pro-screen time. Today in tech, we’re discussing the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, in which AI will likely feature prominently.
Nauti's Take
For AI teams, this is a signal to watch, not a basis for changing compliance or infrastructure plans. First verify whether the meeting produces concrete rules on chips, models, incident reporting, or data flows.
Until then, the story rests largely on one Guardian report and analyst expectations, so it should not be treated as an actionable policy update.
