Anthony Albanese has lamented a "breakdown of international rules" in a UN speech naming climate change and AI as global challenges, just two days after Donald Trump told the same forum that both concerns were a "hoax".
AI and climate change were the issues that demanded global cooperation, Mr Albanese said, despite the "breakdown of trust, civility and social cohesion" that was promoting conflict within and between countries.
During an earlier meeting, Mr Xi told Mr Trump that the superpower countries had a responsibility to "develop and manage AI for good".
If successful in its bid, Australia would use the position to "amplify the voices of small states and middle powers", Mr Albanese said.
