US and China leaders prepare to discuss artificial intelligence at Washington summit
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Donald Trump will meet in Washington next week to discuss artificial intelligence.
Rivals close the technology gap
China has narrowed its distance behind the United States in frontier artificial intelligence development. Firms like DeepSeek and Moonshot AI have released models that rank just below top American systems from OpenAI and Anthropic. These Chinese tools are available to anyone at a fraction of the cost.
Trump rejects slowing progress
Donald Trump stated he does not support calls to slow down artificial intelligence development. He argued that the United States leads China in this field and wants to maintain that position. Industry leaders warn that restricting capabilities while China continues advancing could lead to geopolitical dominance for Beijing.
Export rules create friction
The Trump administration has adjusted licensing rules for some chips even as it restricts others. This approach frustrates officials who want a harder line against Chinese progress in the technology sector. Recent incidents involving open-source models have increased urgency around regulating the industry.
