As Xi’s US visit approaches, basic details of planned AI talks remain uncertain

Questions remain over which US agencies will take the lead, whether private firms will join and what will be on the agenda

Two sources familiar with the discussions said Washington had yet to decide which part of the US government should take the lead. The two sides had also not agreed on whether technical experts and private-sector representatives should be included, among other questions.

A substantive dialogue would also require experts from AI laboratories, rather than simply senior diplomats, to take part, the person said.
