  "account": "US and China must acknowledge their differences in artificial intelligence (AI) as they strive to cooperate and compete, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on Tuesday. Bessent, set to visit China next week for President Donald Trump's third meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, emphasized the importance of a balanced and reciprocal relationship. The upcoming dialogue in Shenzhen, during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, aims to address superintelligence (SI) risks and prevent misunderstandings between the two systems. Bessent called for exchange of best practices in evaluating and testing AI models, maintaining human control, and establishing a direct alert channel for serious incidents. Despite some disagreement on guardrails for AI development, both sides agreed to address new areas of risk management. Bessent stressed that US and China interests often diverge and that the approach to challenges may not always align. The controversy surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who is under investigation by the company's board for alleged affairs with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset, was not mentioned in Bessent's remarks.",
