By Zoila Palma: The United States and China are exploring the creation of a notification mechanism to report artificial intelligence incidents that could affect national security, as officials from the two countries held economic and trade discussions ahead of a planned summit between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that senior US and Chinese officials discussed the proposed AI notification system during what he described as “successful” talks with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York.
The meeting comes as Trump and Xi prepare to meet in Washington later this week, BBC reports.
Bessent emphasized the importance of transparency between the world’s two leading AI powers, arguing that potential risks linked to artificial intelligence require greater communication across borders. His comments follow recent warnings from researchers about AI’s potential dangers and calls from prominent technology figures for more cautious development of the technology.
Beyond AI safety, the discussions also covered trade issues, including plans to operationalize a process known as the Board of Trade to identify potential tariff reductions on goods.
