00:00The Trump and Xi summit here in Washington, D.C. may not yield many big announcements on the day
00:05itself, but the invite list may be more telling about each leader's commercial priorities going
00:11forward. Now that the U.S. and China have agreed to set up an AI dialogue, when will we actually
00:18get both nations' top AI leaders talking face-to-face amid discord over the pace of AI
00:23development and accusations by the U.S. of alleged IP theft by the Chinese through AI distillation of
00:30American models. Now, we know OpenAI's Sam Altman has been invited here, as have NVIDIA's Jensen
00:38Huang and also Apple's Tim Cook, among other tech titans from the United States. But where are
00:45China's top AI execs, like DeepSec's Liang Wenfeng or Moonshot's Yang Zhilin? Now, sources tell
00:51Bloomberg, Xi Jinping is actually now not bringing any CEO-level executives with him for this state
00:58visit to the United States, which would be a blow to Donald Trump's pledge to notch, quote,
01:03a lot of different deals with the Chinese during the summit. This would make the evening gala dinner
01:09a room disproportionately full of American executives, and a summit overall tilted more towards pageantry
01:17than policy or the pursuit of commercial deals.
