China and U.S. to open AI ‘communication channel’ after summit

Washington – China and the United States agreed to set up a “communication channel” for artificial intelligence incidents, the White House said Friday, after a Washington summit short on breakthroughs. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping discussed matters ranging from AI and trade to the stalled war in Iran, and confirmed that they would meet for a third and fourth time this year at international summits in China and the United States. Xi’s visit to Washington was marked more by pomp than substance, but the White House said the nations agreed to establish a “bilateral communication channel” for AI incidents.
