  "account": "US President Donald Trump is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. The primary topic of discussion will be artificial intelligence (AI), though Donald Trump has expressed a desire to keep things unchanged. In a social media post, Trump wrote, \"Super Intelligence (SI) will be a big topic of discussion, but I want to leave it exactly where it is,\" using his preferred term for AI. China's stance on this matter aligns with Trump's. The Justice Department, or DOJ, serves as the current guardrail for regulating and prosecuting AI companies in the US, according to Trump. Last week, Trump had stated that the nation already has safeguards in place to govern AI, potentially downplaying worries voiced by industry leaders about the possible harmful effects of artificial intelligence on people. Xi's visit to Washington follows a recent public alarm about the potential dangers of AI, following a warning from an Anthropic researcher that the technology could annihilate humanity by the end of the decade. Despite these concerns, analysts suggest that fierce competition in AI will likely constrain the possibility of agreements beyond symbolic gestures. So far, Trump has shown little concern about AI and has largely supported tech companies during his second term. Notable American technology figures, including Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Alphabet's Sundar Pichai, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Apple's Tim Cook, Tesla's Elon Musk, and Nvidia's Jensen Huang, are expected to attend Trump's state dinner at the White House for Xi on Thursday.",
