AI Talks Cloud Xi’s White House Visit

Rising tensions over artificial intelligence are shaping the final preparations for Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States. Washington and Beijing are discussing whether to fold a long-awaited AI dialogue into a broader economic meeting. That meeting would take place in the days before Xi meets US President Donald Trump, according to several people familiar with the arrangements. The two leaders agreed in Beijing in May to launch an intergovernmental dialogue on AI. For months, that channel has been stalled.
