US and China Agree on AI Dialogue
The United States and China have agreed to establish a formal artificial intelligence dialogue featuring a security notification mechanism, according to The Decoder. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the initiative following negotiations with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York.
Bessent stated that the proposed notification mechanism is designed to raise alarms regarding artificial intelligence incidents that intersect with national security. The dialogue aims to foster a shared understanding of common goals and threats between the two leading artificial intelligence powers. Both nations plan to hold subsequent meetings to finalize the specifics of the reporting system.
The announcement follows discussions held at JPMorgan headquarters in Manhattan. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer noted that export controls concerning advanced artificial intelligence chips were excluded from the agenda. Alongside the artificial intelligence dialogue, both governments formalized a board of trade previously discussed during meetings in Beijing.
While industry leaders have previously warned about potential risks if research pace is not managed, President Donald Trump has rejected proposals for an artificial intelligence slowdown agreement given the ongoing technological competition. The dialogue precedes the upcoming summit between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington.
