BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping said at the Group of 20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro that artificial intelligence should not be a "game of rich countries and the wealthy," state news agency Xinhua reported on Monday.

Xi also called for more international governance and cooperation on AI, Xinhua said. Earlier in the day, Xi touted China's support for the developing world and pledged more aid initiatives, including proposing an initiative with three other G20 members to help the Global South gain better access to scientific and technological innovations.

At a session on the reform of global governance institutions, the Chinese leader warned against protectionism in the name of green and low-carbon development, a reference to tariffs on Chinese products like electric vehicles and biodiesel imposed by G20 members including the United States, Canada and the European Union.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
