Xi calls for global AI cooperation, chides U.S. curbs

Chinese President Xi Jinping said AI development and governance should be a collaborative global effort rather than dominated by any single nation, criticizing U.S.-led curbs on technology sharing as an "overstretching" of national security concerns.

The DeAI takeaway: The move by China's leader represents the latest salvo among major governments to try to influence the standards and policies that apply to this rapidly moving global industry – potentially a counterpoint to the Trump administration's efforts in the U.S. to claim leadership on AI.
