Forget walkies, new evidence dogs can tell the difference between consonants and vowels. Some of the most powerful men in the world have been meeting at a banquet in Washington. Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping shared a three-course meal in the White House with some of the biggest names in the tech world, like OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk, at a time when the calls for something to be urgently done to protect the world from the dangers of AI have never been louder.

The state dinner wrapped up the first full day of Xi Jinping's visit to the US, the Chinese President's first trip to the country in over a decade. Donald Trump said they had a great meeting and that tremendous progress is being made. But speaking earlier in the day, Xi Jinping said the two nations must do more to collaborate on regulating AI.

Now the reason I say this is because I'm looking at the propaganda as delivered here. through state controlled media. Now take the Global Times this morning. There is a piece and it's all about AI. It's all about the two of them meeting in terms of the new challenges of AI. And I mean says it pretty clearly in this piece. This meeting is expected to provide new guidance for exploring a model in which competition and cooperation can coexist.
