Bessent proposes US-China AI safety notifications in talks with Chinese vice pre...
US Trade Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng concluded talks in New York on Sunday, proposing a new AI safety notification mechanism for US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to consider at their upcoming summit. The talks covered plans to operationalize a process agreed in May for each side to identify potential tariff cuts on non-strategic goods, known as the Board of Trade.
US Trade Representative Jamie Shannon Greer stated that US export controls on sophisticated AI chips and semiconductor manufacturing equipment were not on the agenda for the AI mechanism talks. The discussions aimed to set up a new US-China AI dialogue, with a particular emphasis on national security concerns and a notification system for common goals and common threats related to AI-related incidents that rise to a national security level.
