What happened
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also confirmed that follow-up AI safety discussions are scheduled between the two nations in two months' time. It's not clear at this time how keen China is to implement the proposed notification system, but analysts and experts on both sides have called for a system like this to be developed.
and China have agreed to further broach AI safety concerns in the coming months. While some are raising the alarm about the humanitarian risk posed by AI models , the U.S.
The scenario both parties want to avoid is an AI-driven autonomous weapon system — be they kinetic or something more asymmetric in nature, like AI-driven cyber attack capabilities — responding to provocation without consideration by a human. and China can move beyond its ongoing rivalry, the potential is there for much firmer agreements on the specifics around AI integration in national security and military actions.
