US-China set up SI Dialogue to discuss AI incidents, weeks after Trump asked cos to maintain dominance over Beijing
The US and China have agreed to establish a communication channel for AI-related incidents and launch a Super Intelligence Dialogue. The move comes as Washington and Beijing seek to address AI risks while continuing to compete over the development of advanced technology.
Following President Donald Trump's request to US AI companies to not hasten technology development to maintain dominance over China, Washington and Beijing announced the establishment of a US-China Super Intelligence (SI) Dialogue on AI-related incidents this week. The decision came after a summit between the two leaders, where they discussed AI, bilateral trade, and the war in Iran.
The US and China agreed to use the term SI over AI in their communications. The next exchange is expected in November. President Trump expressed his willingness to leave the issue of Super Intelligence as it is, reflecting China's stance on human control of the technology. Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the need for human control over AI development, highlighting both nations' capability and responsibility to harness the technology for good.
The visit also saw agreements on US coal purchases, tariff concessions, and the arrival of Chinese pandas at a US zoo.
