The remarks come two days before Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to arrive in Washington to meet with US President Donald Trump for a closely watched summit where AI is expected to be on the agenda after the two countries agreed to establish a dialogue on the technology a day earlier.

“I hope there will be an agreement between Trump and Xi Jinping to have some safety standards,” Khanna told the South China Morning Post. “To have a ban on recursive self-improving AI and also a certification standard and inspection standard to make sure we don’t have AI models that lose control or that are misused.”
