WASHINGTON: Top Chinese officials told Elon Musk about plans to launch new regulations on artificial intelligence on his recent trip to the Asian giant, the tech billionaire said Monday, in his first comments on the two-day visit.

The Twitter owner and Tesla CEO – one of the world's richest men – held meetings with senior officials in Beijing and employees in Shanghai last week.
