Speaking to a room full of technology executives at the White House, President Donald Trump declared that the United States would not pursue collaborative artificial intelligence safety agreements with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The comments were made just ahead of a luncheon focused on the emergence of superintelligence.
During the event, the president also unveiled a new artificial intelligence-powered portal designed to assist citizens in navigating government services. He emphasized that his administration is committed to allowing the technology sector to flourish without excessive regulatory restrictions.
In other developments, South Korean authorities rescued dozens of dogs from a breeding facility as the nation moves toward a total ban on the dog meat industry.
A government portal sounds useful, but I wonder how well it handles complex real-world citizen issues.
Hard to imagine any meaningful AI safety cooperation without China. This feels like a dead end.
Interesting timing on the dog meat ban news. Was that accidentally appended to the end?
