President Trump held a state dinner at the White House last night for Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
This followed meetings earlier in the day.
Neither man released much detail about their discussions.
NPR's Deepa Shivram says they did talk about AI.
U.S. And Chinese officials had deliberated over information sharing systems
that would help alert each other over AI incidents that would affect national security.
And that would have been a huge development in AI security globally because there aren't a lot of guardrails
that exist for this technology.
But it's unclear how far that proposal on AI will actually go because in his remarks on Thursday morning,
Trump was clear that on AI he wants to, quote, leave it exactly where it is.
NPR's Deepa Shivaram reporting.
President Trump denied TV networks CNN and MSNOW access to the state banquet at the White House last night.
The ban came even after a federal judge had ordered
the White House to restore access to media organizations that Trump ousted last weekend.
Some journalists were able to return during the day, but Trump kept others out of the banquet.
A Democratic senator is asking the White House for immediate
answers about a new television ad featuring President Trump.
The ad says it is paid for by the U.S.
Government.
