Will Trump and Xi Jinping stop AI ‘killing us all’? | The Global Story

China’s President Xi Jinping will meet Donald Trump later this month with the issue of AI governance high on the agenda.

In recent weeks there has been increasing concern around the risks that AI might pose to humanity, after a safety researcher at Anthropic suggested the technology could, “kill all humans” within the next decade.

Washington has long framed the United States’ development of AI as a race against China – one that it considers vital to its national security. But does China see it the same way? And if so, what are the chances of these rival superpowers cooperating to reign in the risks of AI?

The Global Story’s Asma Khalid is joined by Kyle Chan, a fellow at the Brookings Institute and an expert on Chinese tech development, to understand how China’s AI ambitions differ from the US, and what‘s really at stake if these two countries fail to find common ground on this era-defining technology.
