  "account": "Former US Vice President Kamala Harris called for urgent cooperation between the US and China on artificial intelligence (AI) safeguards, warning that the window to prevent the technology's most severe risks was closing. During her appearance at South Korea's Asan Institute for Policy Studies, Harris emphasized that AI developers must collaborate to address three existential dangers: cybersecurity threats, AI-enabled weapons, and systems that could evade human control.\n\nHarris stressed that while the US and China's strategic rivalry should not hinder cooperation on shared risks, there was potential for collaboration in areas where their interests aligned. She advocated for healthy competition but cautioned against conflict. Harris criticized former President Donald Trump's erratic tariffs and their detrimental effects on the US, warning against transactional approaches that might compromise the country's global influence.\n\nThe former vice president praised South Korea's investment in US industries, such as shipbuilding, semiconductors, electric vehicles, and clean energy, calling it immensely significant. Harris also urged renewed US commitment to South Korea, given the growing cooperation among North Korea, Russia, China, and Iran, which she deemed concerning and necessitated stronger deterrence from allies.\n\nHarris campaigned for Democratic candidates ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections and weighed the possibility of another White House bid. She expressed confidence that Democrats would gain a majority in the House of Representatives and had a strong chance of taking the Senate, potentially giving Congress a more influential role in domestic and foreign policy, including the conflict with Iran.\n\nWhen asked if she would run for president again in 2028, Harris responded that she was still considering her options.",
