Trump, ahead of Xi meeting, says of AI: "Our guardrail is the DOJ!"

President Donald Trump said AI will be a major subject when he meets Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday, adding that both men want existing arrangements left unchanged. In a social media post, Trump called the technology Super Intelligence and said the U.S. Justice Department acts as its oversight mechanism. The comment follows his remarks last week that the United States already possesses tools to oversee AI firms and bring legal cases against them, a position that appeared to downplay industry leaders’ fears about possible harm from improper use of the technology. The discussion underscores how AI policy is expected to feature in U.S.-China talks, with Trump signaling no desire for changes and pointing to the Justice Department as the enforcement authority.
