U.S. and China leaders confirm plans to establish an AI safety framework ahead of their summit. The agreement comes as both nations seek to manage the risks of emerging technology. The meeting is expected to focus on creating a notification mechanism for AI incidents affecting national security.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng met in New York, discussing a new 'notification mechanism' for AI incidents. The talks are part of preparations for the Trump-Xi summit, which will take place in Washington this week. The two leaders are expected to address trade and strategic issues.
The summit follows a tariff truce that is set to expire on November 10. Both nations aim to strengthen dialogue and cooperation on AI safety. The agreement is seen as a step toward managing the risks of AI development. The U.S. and China face challenges in aligning their approaches to AI regulation.
The U.S. and China have differing views on AI risks. While the U.S. emphasizes the need for caution, China has generally taken a more pragmatic approach. The summit will test the ability of both nations to balance competition with cooperation on AI and other strategic issues.
