Bessent: US proposes AI incident alert system in talks with China
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a proposed "notification mechanism" for artificial intelligence incidents that could affect national security. This proposal was discussed during weekend talks ahead of upcoming White House discussions between President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping. Bessent emphasized the importance of transparency in AI development, stating that moving from opaque to more transparent interactions between the world's leading AI powers is crucial.
The groundwork for these talks was reportedly laid during a recent meeting in New York, where Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer discussed operationalizing a new "Board of Trade" between the two nations.
