The US and China are vying for AI supremacy while seeking to keep it under human control.

US President Donald Trump has been blunt about his AI ambitions, as well as about who he considers the US's main rival to be: China.
His Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, has not said anything so forthright - but it seems he holds a similar view.
"China very much sees it as a race, they very much think China should be the leading force in AI - they see AI as a power maximiser," says Rebecca Arcesati, from the Mercator Institute for China Studies.
AI is also very energy hungry, and China is very well placed there, Rebecca Arcesati told Tech Life on the BBC World Service.
