Xi tells Trump AI must be under human control

Xi Jinping's State Visit to the White House

Xi Jinping, the Chinese leader, began his highly anticipated state visit to the White House on Thursday, where he emphasized the importance of keeping artificial intelligence under human control.

This statement comes as the US and China are engaged in an intense competition in the field of AI, with both countries seeking to advance their technologies. As Xi stated, "we have both the capability and responsibility to develop and manage AI for good and ensure that a development of AI is always under human control and serves the well being of the people."

Discussions on Taiwan and Iran

Trump and Xi discussed various issues, including trade, Taiwan, and the war with Iran. Xi urged Trump to "prudently handle the Taiwan issue" and to oppose "Taiwan independence." China has repeatedly pressed Washington to permanently halt arms sales to Taiwan, which Beijing considers to be Chinese territory. The US has said it opposes any unilateral changes to the status quo by either side. According to a readout from the official Chinese news agency Xinhua, Xi also expressed support for the US and Iran returning to a ceasefire and eventually negotiating a peace deal.

US Senate Rejects Resolution to Halt Iran War

The US Senate rejected a resolution to halt the Iran war, with some Republicans joining Democrats in favor of the resolution. The vote was 49-50, with four GOP senators joining most Democrats in favor of the resolution. The war powers resolution, which was introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine, aimed to halt President Trump's military action in Iran. As Sen. Kaine stated, "they have been carrying water for this ridiculous and illegal war for months and months and months and not listening to their constituents." The resolution was seen as a symbolic move, as it did not have the force of law, but it reflected the growing unease among lawmakers about the war.
