China, US to open AI ‘communication channel’ after summit, White House says
White House says the two countries agreed to open a 'bilateral communication channel' for AI incidents.
The United States and China have agreed to establish a “communication channel” for artificial intelligence (AI) incidents, the White House said after a summit in Washington, DC.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed matters ranging from AI and trade to the stalled war in Iran during a three-day state visit, and confirmed that they would meet for a third and fourth time this year at international summits in China and the US.
The White House said on Friday that the nations agreed to establish a “bilateral communication channel” for AI incidents. There was no immediate comment from Beijing on the White House statement.
“We’ve had a tremendous visit from two spectacular people, and we really enjoyed it, and I think we’ve made tremendous strides,” Trump said. “We’ve made great strides, very positive for both countries.”
