US, China gear up for mid-September AI safety talks: Reuters

cnbc.com ·1h ago

The United States and China are scheduled to discuss artificial intelligence (AI) safety risks and potential cooperation on monitoring AI-directed cyberattacks during a planned dialogue in mid-September, according to sources familiar with the discussions. The talks, which will be led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, mark the first official bilateral discussions devoted exclusively to AI between the two nations since President Donald Trump's second term began.

The White House has not yet confirmed the meeting's existence. The US is concerned about potential Chinese development of advanced AI models capable of conducting cyberattacks and wants to discuss cooperation on monitoring AI-linked cyberattacks. The talks come at a critical juncture as rapidly advancing AI capabilities reach a global tipping point.
