Chinese President Xi Jinping says the United States and China have a shared responsibility to develop and manage artificial intelligence so it remains “always under human control” and serves people. Speaking during his meeting at the White House as a summit with President Donald Trump begins, Xi frames the message as an obligation for the two leading AI powers.
Multiple outlets report Xi’s remarks emphasizing governance of AI rather than unilateral development. They describe him urging joint steering of AI “for good,” with development guided to avoid loss of human oversight. Coverage also notes that the statement comes amid US-China competition for technological leadership, underscoring the political context around AI capability and influence.
While the outlets vary in phrasing, they align on the central elements: Xi’s call for human control, the linkage to responsibility between Washington and Beijing, and the argument that AI should be directed toward public benefit as the two countries race in technology.
