Will the Trump-Xi summit make limited progress on AI?
Expectations for the September 24 Trump-Xi summit are low, with continuity expected in trade and geopolitics. The trade truce from Busan is likely to be extended, while no breakthroughs are expected on Russia, Iran, Taiwan, or environmental issues. The main possible area of cooperation is bilateral safeguards on artificial intelligence.
Why it matters: This matters for the US-China relations theme because it identifies AI safeguards as the sole area where the two rivals might make limited progress.
