In separate news, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated in prepared remarks to the National Committee on US-China Relations that the US and China should not have illusions regarding their differences over artificial intelligence. Speaking in New York, Bessent noted that both nations are navigating cooperation to mitigate technology risks while competing for AI supremacy.
Bessent said a meeting in Shenzhen during the November 18-19 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders summit will advance a new bilateral dialogue on superintelligence. The dialogue aims to guard against shared risks and prevent misunderstandings, with the two sides agreeing to establish a direct channel for alerting one another to serious incidents.
