AI safety fears stalk Trump-Xi summit agenda
Pressure is building on President Trump to put AI safety on the table when he meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington. The calls are coming from both domestic voices and international stakeholders.
Why this matters: AI safety between the US and China is not an abstract policy debate. These are the two countries with the most powerful AI programs and the sharpest rivalry over who controls the technology. If they are not talking about shared risks, accidents and miscalculations become more likely. Whether Trump actually raises it matters. A meeting where AI safety gets nodded at and then dropped is not the same as one where both sides agree to ground rules. The outcome affects everyone, not just the governments in the room.
