Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet Urges Trump Administration to Prioritize AI Cooperation and Safety Ahead of China Summit

Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet has sent a letter to Trump Administration officials, urging them to prioritize negotiations on AI-related safety practices during an upcoming summit between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The summit, scheduled for Thursday in Washington, is expected to cover various issues, including the future of artificial intelligence. McDonald Rivet emphasized the need for common-sense regulations to protect American jobs, safety, and opportunities as the U.S. and China compete for leadership in AI development.

This initiative is part of her broader efforts to establish guardrails on artificial intelligence and data center development.
