US and UK Sign New Tech Deal Amid Trump's AI Jokes
LONDON - September 19, 2025 - In a gathering of business and technology leaders in London, US President Donald Trump poked fun at his lack of understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) while signing a new tech deal with the UK.
During a speech about US-UK ties and fresh partnerships, Trump broke from his prepared remarks to joke that AI was "taking over the world." He directed his comment towards Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has become central to the global AI boom. "This will create new government, academic, and private sector cooperation in areas like AI, which is taking over the world," Trump said, drawing laughter from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the audience.
"I hope you're right," Starmer replied with a smile. "All I can say is, we both hope you're right."
The new tech deal, signed by Trump and Starmer, focuses on AI development and cooperation between the two nations. The agreement aims to foster collaboration in areas such as AI research, development, and deployment.
