Before arriving for his high-stakes summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, United States President Donald Trump aimed to set expectations high. He said he would urge Xi to "open up" China's economy and announced a delegation of top business executives, including Tesla's Elon Musk, Apple's Tim Cook and Nvidia's Jensen Huang, to accompany him. While Trump and Xi are anticipated to extend the one-year pause in their trade war agreed to in South Korea in October, the expectations are for a stabilisation - not revitalisation - in ties between the world's two largest economies, which are locked in a rivalry that spans everything from trade and artificial intelligence to the status of Taiwan. "It is important to be clear-eyed about the state of relations here," Claire E Reade, a senior counsel at Arnold & Porter who previously worked on China at the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR), told Al Jazeera. "China does not trust the US, and China wants to beat the US in what it sees as long-term global competition," Reade said.

A federal jury is now deciding whether Elon Musk will win his lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman--but the trial has made everyone look bad. Attorneys delivered closing arguments in the trial on Thursday in a final attempt to convince a judge and jury that their respective clients, Elon Musk and Sam Altman, are the most well-intentioned, truth-telling stewards of OpenAI's founding nonprofit mission. A judgement could be delivered as soon as next week, ending a decade-long battle between two of the technology industry's most influential entrepreneurs. But regardless of the outcome, there is a wide set of losers in this case. Based on ample amounts of evidence, it appears that the people worst off are the employees, policymakers, and members of the public who believed in the mission of a nonprofit research lab--and supported OpenAI because of it.

The founder of British computer maker Raspberry Pi has warned that overestimating the abilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) could put people off pursuing tech jobs and hurt the economy. Eben Upton told the BBC's Big Boss Interview podcast this could distort people's choices in ways that make that skill shortage worse and not better. Some people are very inclined to overestimate what these [AI] tools can do, he said, and warned against claims that it would destroy vast numbers of computing roles over the coming years. The rise of tools such as ChatGPT and Claude have led to predictions of huge job losses, particularly for tech workers and graduates. Amazon, Meta and Microsoft have already blamed tens of thousands of layoffs on AI over the last year.

The President swept off to Beijing to court Xi Jinping. Back Stateside, it was non-Presidential motorcades, video games, and a languid vibe at the White House. The endless motorcades and wail of sirens in Washington this week made it seem as if the President were travelling non-stop around the city, or receiving a bevy of foreign dignitaries. As it happened, it was National Police Week, and the ceremonial convoys were carrying the families of police officers who had been killed in the line of duty. Donald Trump was leaving for China.

Closing arguments begin in Elon Musk's landmark lawsuit against OpenAI Lawyers for OpenAI and Elon Musk began closing arguments in a landmark trial that could impact the future of the ChatGPT maker. On Thursday, each side presented a concluding statement to jurors, who will decide whether OpenAI and its leaders profited from a venture that was meant to be a "charity". Musk sued OpenAI, its CEO Sam Altman and its president Greg Brockman, alleging that the company strayed from its founding mission to build AI that was safe and beneficial to humanity. Musk was not present for the closing statements on Thursday, as he is currently in China on a diplomatic visit with United States President Donald Trump. His lawyer, Steven Molo, used his final remarks to accuse OpenAI of breaching its charitable trust by enriching investors and insiders at the nonprofit's expense.

Elon Musk's team seems to have one main goal: make the OpenAI boss look like a liar. Musk's wins so far mainly involve making OpenAI and Altman look ridiculous. Get your news from a source that's not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Can you trust Sam Altman? That was one of the central themes at the high-profile trial between the OpenAI CEO and Elon Musk in California this week, as Musk's lawyers peppered Altman with questions on his work relationships, including his temporary ouster from OpenAI three years ago by a mistrustful board of directors .
