US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will address artificial intelligence at their White House meeting Thursday, as both nations intensify competition for AI dominance.
Artificial intelligence has emerged as the central battleground in US-China economic rivalry, with both superpowers investing heavily in the technology's development and deployment.
Trump underscored the stakes on September 13, stating that "whoever wins AI, wins." The declaration reflects Washington's view that AI leadership determines future technological and economic advantage.
China has similarly prioritized AI development as a strategic national goal, positioning itself as a competitor in machine learning, quantum computing, and related fields.
The summit provides an opportunity for both leaders to discuss their respective AI strategies and potentially address concerns around competition, technology transfer, and regulatory frameworks. Previous administrations have implemented restrictions on US chip exports to China and tightened oversight of AI-related investments.
The meeting comes amid broader tensions over trade, intellectual property, and technological innovation between the world's two largest economies.
