  "account": "Catherine Thorbecke argues that the Chinese AI industry is facing increased scrutiny over safety concerns following recent incidents in the United States. Beijing has dismissed some warnings as \"fearmongering,\" seeing calls to slow AI development as an attempt to hold China back. However, industry insiders suggest Chinese AI systems may need to accelerate to feel the same risks as their US counterparts. The Chinese AI sector has nearly 1,000 large language models and is investing heavily in agents, which could lead to more concerning behavior. Companies are aware of these risks, but preventative measures and cooperation from both nations are necessary to mitigate potential threats.",
  "summary": "Using China as the boogeyman is no longer a convincing excuse for inaction on AI regulations by US lawmakers, says Catherine Thorbecke for Bloomberg Opinion.",
