China, US to open AI ‘communication channel’ after summit, White House says

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.
