Trump rejects calls to work with China on AI safety despite Xi summit progress

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he does not want to work with China on addressing artificial intelligence (AI) risks, arguing that cooperation could undermine America’s lead in the fast-moving technology.“Whoever wins superintelligence wins. You’re gonna have a winner and a loser, and you’re probably not gonna have a second place,” Trump said at the launch event for America.gov, a new AI-powered federal government portal.“We’re leading now over China and everyone else, and I want to keep it that way … The only way you can keep it that way is to do exactly what we’re doing right now.”
