PRESS REVIEW – Wednesday, September 23: The papers look ahead to US President Donald Trump hosting his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. In other news, a Haitian-born novelist, tipped to win France's prestigious Goncourt literary prize, has been struck by an AI scandal. Finally, could the remains of Nefertiti lie behind the burial chamber of Tutankhamun?
The Washington Post brings us details of what's planned for Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington, complete with a five-jet flyover. Politico digs into the power dynamics between the Chinese and US leaders, as China is one of the winners of the global energy crisis. High on the agenda will be the topic of artificial intelligence, as The New York Times reports, after recent warnings from tech bosses about the dangers the technology could now pose. The journalist concludes, though, that neither will be open to restrictions that endanger their AI sector's competitivity. According to Axios, one of the outcomes of this visit could be the creation of an "AI red telephone": a direct hotline between the two presidents, in Cold War-era style, for the day "AI goes haywire".
