Face The Nation(@FaceTheNation):Ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Washington, D.C. this week, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) says President Trump needs to make “an international agreement with Xi Jinping to have basic standards” on artificial intelligence as concerns about the technology’s safety rise. Khanna, the top Democrat on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, proposed Chinese AI firms cooperate with U.S. companies on safety, but says “the Chinese firms have taken no actions on either of them.” “They're engaging in distillation,” he says. “Basically, they are copying American models. That's one reason, frankly, to regulate American models, because they're copying them.”
