TOKYO, Nov 14 — AI bots going rogue and humans using the technology for harm will likely be on the agenda when Donald Trump and Xi Jinping meet next week, with the Nvidia scandal hanging over the talks on AI safety.
The US and Chinese president are set to discuss a tech crisis hotline at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, as experts worldwide stress-test artificial intelligence models to see if they will deceive or disobey users, or divulge how to build a bioweapon.
Threatening to steal the leaders’ thunder is Jensen Huang’s resignation as boss of US AI chip titan Nvidia after an affair with a suspected Chinese spy.
But the scandal is unlikely to “dominate the agenda” or affect Trump and Xi’s personal relationship, predicted Dylan Loh of Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University.
