@hlntnr explains what would actually count as a win in the upcoming Trump-Xi AI talks:
"We should start with low expectations. The really low expectations version would be nothing happens whatsoever. The low expectations version will be they'll both say in their readout something something artificial intelligence."
"Two years ago we had some engagement between China and the Biden White House, and there we got some joint language around managing the risks from AI and ensuring broad benefit. If we see similarly generic overarching language, that will also be a pretty low expectations version of the summit, which is pretty likely."
"If both sides name a more specific set of challenges that they're both interested in, not just maximizing benefits and minimizing risks, that'll be a win."
"If you figure out who should talk to who after this Trump-Xi meeting, that's kind of interesting progress as well."
