US and China agree to pursue AI dialogue but make little progress

The United States and China have agreed to pursue dialogue on AI development and governance, but little progress has been made since their summit in Beijing in mid-May. Both countries are competing for technological dominance, with President Trump resisting regulation and emphasizing the need to lead in AI. Chinese officials have expressed interest in cooperation, but tensions remain high, with accusations of espionage and concerns about AI's risks. Both nations are also building separate alliances to promote their own AI governance frameworks.
