The US and China have agreed to establish a dialogue on artificial intelligence, which they are referring to as "super intelligence". This dialogue, called the "U.S.-China Super Intelligence (SI) Dialogue", will focus on the risks and benefits related to this technology, with the next meeting scheduled for November, according to Axios.

The two countries have also agreed to set up a bilateral communication channel to address serious incidents related to super intelligence, which has been likened to a "red telephone" used during the Cold War era. The channel's purpose and the types of incidents that would warrant its use are not specified.

China's foreign ministry has stated that it "attaches importance" to the US adopting the term "super intelligence" and "respects" the US's wording, as reported by several outlets including Free Malaysia Today and Channel News Asia.
