Trump Says AI 'Superintelligence' Will Be Central Topic in Meeting With China's Xi

U.S. President Donald Trump said that the topic of artificial intelligence "superintelligence" would dominate discussions in an upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to a report by the Turkish news agency Anadolu.

The remarks came ahead of the planned meeting between the two leaders in Washington, the report said, though further details on the format, agenda or expected outcomes of the meeting were not included in the available summary.

Discussions of advanced artificial intelligence capabilities, often referred to as "superintelligence" when describing systems that could exceed human cognitive performance across most domains, have become an increasingly prominent theme in U.S.-China relations, alongside existing points of friction over trade, technology exports and semiconductor supply chains.

Neither the White House nor Chinese officials were quoted directly elaborating on the specific AI-related issues expected to be raised in the meeting, according to the available report.

The meeting is expected to take place amid continued broader competition between Washington and Beijing over leadership in artificial intelligence development and related technologies.
