President Trump and China's leader, Xi Jinping, will meet this week in New York and Washington to discuss artificial intelligence risks and competition. U.S. and Chinese officials are setting up a dialogue about A.I. and a hotline to report national security risks from the technology. The United States is lodging criticisms with China over its companies' copying American A.I. models.

A state dinner hosting China's leader on Thursday is expected to be attended by some of America's biggest A.I. and tech titans, including executives from Open AI, Google and Nvidia. Concerns are mounting in the United States about potential threats from A.I., after warnings from A.I. researchers and incidents of A.I. agents escaping their training environments and hacking websites.

Many U.S. officials worry that A.I. could enhance China's ability to launch cyberattacks on the United States or crack military codes. President Trump has taken a laissez faire approach, saying the only guardrails A.I. needs are a 'strong and smart president.' He has opposed state regulation of A.I. and largely supported Nvidia's selling computer chips abroad, relaxing restrictions the Biden administration set on providing the technology to China.
