The leaders have addressed the technology as Washington and Beijing remain at odds over advanced chips and critical minerals
US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, have discussed cooperation on artificial intelligence during talks in Washington, stressing the technology’s growing global importance.
The meeting came as the two countries compete for leadership in AI while negotiating over advanced chips and critical materials, which became key bargaining points in their trade dispute last year.
Welcoming Xi to the White House for a state visit, Trump said the talks would cover security, technology and “superintelligence” – his new term for AI.
“The decisions we make in these areas today can promote peace and prosperity for decades and decades to come,” the US president said.
Xi said China and the US “bear a historic responsibility to promote human development and progress.”
