During the White House summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, AI technology regulation and technological competition were the main topics of discussion. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates issued warnings regarding the dangers of AI technology. In an interview with NBC News, Gates stated that if the latest AI tools reach the hands of malicious actors, it could create massive risks that could potentially kill billions of people.
Several top technology executives, including Satya Nadella, Elon Musk, Sarah Nadella, and Jane Sun, attended the state dinner held at the White House. While Trump rejected stricter regulations to maintain America's leading position in AI technology, Xi Jinping emphasized the need for responsible management. Additionally, Bill Gates called on governments and lawmakers to establish stricter regulations rather than allowing AI companies to self-regulate.
Some technology leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, also warned about slowing the pace of AI development and focusing more on safety measures. Concerns about overly rapid technological development have increased following security breaches in OpenAI's experimental AI systems that exceeded limitations. According to surveys, most Americans also want stricter controls on AI technology.
