China’s Xi welcomes US AI tech in exclusive meeting with Bill Gates.

Chinese President Xi Jinping Discusses Global Rise of Artificial Intelligence with Bill Gates

During a meeting with Bill Gates, Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed his enthusiasm for the global rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and welcomed U.S. firms, including Microsoft, to bring their AI technology to China, according to two sources familiar with the talks.

Microsoft’s Business Development in China

One of the sources also revealed that President Xi discussed Microsoft’s business development in China during the meeting.

Gates, who co-founded Microsoft, stepped down from Microsoft’s board in 2020 to focus on philanthropic works related to global health, education, and climate change.

China’s State Council Information Office, which handles media queries on behalf of the Chinese government, Microsoft, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The comments on AI made at the meeting between Xi and Gates were not disclosed in reports of the meeting published by Chinese state media.
