The U.S. and China have agreed to set up a dialogue on artificial intelligence, with a communications channel to help defuse serious incidents, the White House said overnight.
**Why it matters:** President Trump has said the main thing that matters in the AI race is beating China — but the pact acknowledges that they're serious competition, too.
**Driving the news:** The White House released a fact sheet late Friday night with outcomes from Trump's summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
* The two sides agreed to refer to AI as "super intelligence" or "SI," the White House said — Trump's new and preferred term for the technology.
* They will create a "U.S.-China Super Intelligence (SI) Dialogue" to meet on "risks and benefits related to SI," with the next meeting by November.
**Zoom in:** The administration also said there would be a "bilateral communication channel for SI incidents," which some have likened to a Cold War-era "red telephone" between the two nations.
* Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent focused on creating the channel during last weekend's pre-summit meetings with Chinese officials.
**Yes, but:** It's not clear what kind of incidents would rise to the level of using the channel, or what kinds of notifications each side would give the other.
