US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping placed artificial intelligence at the centre of their White House summit, while outlining different approaches to managing the technology. Trump described “Super Intelligence” as a major discussion topic and said he wanted to leave AI “exactly where it is”, with the US Department of Justice serving as a guardrail. Xi called for the US and China to develop and manage AI for society’s benefit while ensuring it remains “under human control”. He also backed continued bilateral dialogue on AI’s risks, benefits and misuse. The contrasting remarks highlighted differences over AI guardrails even as both leaders emphasized cooperation and competition in the future.
