The United States and China are engaged in ongoing negotiations to establish a framework for managing AI-related incidents and formalizing bilateral dialogue, according to multiple sources. Technical teams from both nations aim to make AI cooperation a potential deliverable during the upcoming meeting between presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump in Shenzhen, as part of their third face-to-face discussions this year.
The AI issue has gained more prominence in conversations between the two sides as they explore methods to formalize cooperation in the field. Following Xi's September visit to the United States, where they announced the establishment of a bilateral channel for AI-related incidents and a China-US AI dialogue, Beijing and Washington have conducted extensive working-level discussions.
While the initiatives have yet to yield concrete results, the goal is to have a foundational framework for addressing AI-related crises ready by the time leaders convene in Shenzhen, with operational specifics to be determined later.
