(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Seung-wook = The White House announced on the 25th (local time) that U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged opinions on the risks and benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) at the U.S.-China summit and agreed to establish a U.S.-China dialogue channel to communicate in the event of related accidents.
The White House said in a fact sheet (explanatory material) released on its website that day, "The two leaders agreed to use the term super intelligence (SI) instead of artificial intelligence (AI) when referring to related new technologies."
The two leaders also agreed that Iran should never possess nuclear weapons and that no country or entity should be allowed to impose tolls on international waterways, the White House said.
This is interpreted as targeting Iran, which claims control over the Strait of Hormuz and plans to impose de facto tolls on ships using the strait.
The White House also said, "President Trump and President Xi discussed ways to promote peace and prosperity to increase the trust of businesses and consumers around the world," and "the two countries agreed to build a constructive relationship for strategic stability based on respect, fairness, and reciprocity."

The Democratic Party of Korea criticized the People's Power Party's offensive regarding the suspected DMZ landmine explosion as a conspiracy theory that instigates security anxiety, and Rep. Park Jie-won urged the government to reveal the truth about the landmine accident and the repatriation of North Korean prisoners of war.

The People Power Party criticized the Lee Jae-myung administration, saying that even five days after the suspected landmine explosion in the DMZ, no on-site investigation has been carried out, and that the Lee Jae-myung government is deliberately delaying the investigation to keep North Korea in check and is carrying out an operation to conceal North Korea's actions. Floor leader Jeong Jeong-sik and chief spokesperson Park Seong-hoon called for a quick investigation and announcement of the culprit, while lawmakers Yoon Sang-hyun, Bae Jun-young, and Han Dong-hoon questioned the government's complacent response and its connection to the UN speech.
