President Trump announced he will not collaborate with China on AI governance to prevent knowledge transfer, while hosting major tech executives at the White House to discuss self-regulation and renaming AI to super intelligence.
Donald Trump says he does not want to work with his Chinese counterpart to govern AI because it would make it harder for American companies to get ahead.
Mr Trump said he discussed AI with China's Xi Jinping during their summit last week, but "not that much, because I don't want to do anything".
"A lot of people say, let's do it together with China, but then they're going to be able to immediately gain access to things that we know that they don't know," Mr Trump said. Mr Trump was speaking at an event to launch an AI-powered government website. Later, he hosted some of the industry's most powerful executives for a lunch meeting at the White House.
Attendees included OpenAI president Greg Brockman, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, and SpaceXAI's Elon Musk. In brief remarks after the meeting, Mr Trump said the industry agreed it needed "tremendous self-regulation". He also said they had discussed his decision to rename AI "super intelligence", which would be formalised in an executive order later in the day.urged the UN Security Council to work towards global safety standards

US Policy Retreat Damages Global Cooperation and Economic StabilityNicholas Kristof criticises the Trump administration for weakening international cooperation through threats against Iran, the closure of USAID, withdrawal from the World Health Organization, reduced support for Ukraine, trade tariffs and rising public debt. He argues that these policies are increasing inflation and interest rates, complicating economic management in Australia and elsewhere. While Australia's wealthiest 200 people gained $39 billion in the last financial year, the burden of controlling inflation will again fall heavily on mortgage holders and renters.
