Biden Administration to Discuss AI Safety with China in Mid-September Talks, Despite White House Discrepancy
US and China prepare for a formal artificial intelligence dialogue, though internal US statements cast doubt on the scheduled mid-September meeting.
The United States and China are preparing for an official bilateral discussion focused on artificial intelligence safety risks. This event is scheduled for mid-September according to two sources. The talks will be led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the American side. One source noted that both US and Chinese AI laboratories might propose cooperation regarding monitoring cyberattacks launched using artificial intelligence capabilities. A second source described this proposal as a potential request for joint research. Conversely, an official from the White House stated there is currently no confirmed AI-related meeting planned for mid-September. Donald Trump is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on September 24 at a summit in Washington.
