  "account": "U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng held talks in New York to establish a notification system for AI incidents with potential national security implications. The conversation occurred as U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping prepare to meet in Washington. Concerns about AI's potential risks have been growing, with researchers warning of possible dangers and prominent figures urging developers to exercise caution. Bessent emphasized the importance of greater transparency between the world's leading AI powers. The discussions also touched on other subjects, such as plans to operationalize tariff reductions on goods, with the existing tariff truce set to end on November 10. Chinese state media reported that the talks were \"candid, in-depth and constructive\" on key economic and trade matters, including AI.",
