U.S., China security experts propose nuclear-style safeguards for AI risks
The proposals, which neither governments has endorsed, come ahead of a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Beijing – Artificial intelligence systems capable of disrupting nuclear command structures or triggering military cyber operations could leave Washington and Beijing with mere minutes to determine if a hostile nation launched the attack, according to U.S. and Chinese security experts. The experts, involved in a U.S.-China dialogue that aids official deliberations, are advocating for preparedness for such situations as concerns grow regarding the escalating power and autonomy of AI systems.
Their recommendations encompass establishing red lines around nuclear systems, ensuring human control over critical cyberattacks, and setting up a hotline for incidents involving autonomous AI.
