Beijing – The U.S. and China are preparing to address AI safety concerns during a dialogue scheduled for mid-September, according to two briefed sources. This comes as advanced AI technologies are rapidly progressing and reaching a global critical juncture. These talks, the initial official bilateral discussions specifically about AI between the U.S. and China since President Donald Trump's second term began, will be headed by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the American side, the sources revealed under the condition of anonymity.
A White House spokesperson clarified "there are no presently scheduled AI-related meetings in mid-September." The summit featuring U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping is set for September 24 in Washington.
