New YorkThe US and China refused to sign a new AI pact.
20 other signatories want global oversight, but AI’s two leading powers kept out.
The pact would create a body to convene states when AI capabilities cross set thresholds, with Germany and South Africa among signatories.
OpenAI countered that the US, not a global body, should set the technical standards for AI.
Trump and Xi meet Thursday in Washington, where AI dominance, not oversight, tops the agenda.
