US President Donald Trump has firmly rejected any collaboration with China on artificial intelligence (AI), citing concerns about sharing secrets with a major economic competitor. Speaking in Washington, Trump emphasized that the US leads significantly in AI and should not risk sharing its advancements. Despite recent talks between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, which led to the establishment of a new AI dialogue and communication channel, Trump remains opposed to joint AI development. He argues that such cooperation would allow China to access US knowledge. Domestically, Trump faces growing public concern over AI’s potential risks, with many Americans fearing it could pose a threat to humanity. However, Trump dismisses these concerns, likening them to what he calls the “global warming scam.”
