America and China are locked in a race for AI dominance. As the warnings about an AI catastrophe get louder, whether the two countries can work together is becoming an increasingly pressing issue.
Few people are better placed to discuss this subject than Kevin Rudd. Australia’s former prime minister, who is now president of Asia Society, has spent decades studying how Xi Jinping thinks. As Australia’s ambassador to Washington, Mr Rudd also watched Donald Trump’s White House at close quarters. He joins David Rennie, The Economist’s geopolitics editor, to assess the recent summit between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump and examine what it means for the world’s most consequential relationship.
