Trump rules out US-China AI joint venture, citing security concerns
Summary
US President Donald Trump has firmly ruled out any joint venture with China to develop artificial intelligence, citing concerns that it would mean "giving away secrets" to the country's main economic competitor. This statement comes in the context of a newly established AI dialogue between the US and China, initiated after Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent visit to the White House. While discussions scheduled for November are aimed at fostering cooperation, Trump emphasized that the US is currently leading in the AI sector and is unwilling to risk this advantage by collaborating with China. He downplayed growing domestic concerns over AI risks, dismissing them as exaggerated, despite a significant portion of the American public expressing worry about the potential dangers of AI.
