President Trump, however, has rejected slowing the tech race or sharing Washington’s technological edge with Beijing
The United States and China have agreed to establish a direct communication channel for artificial intelligence-related incidents, creating a limited safety mechanism between the world’s two leading AI powers.
The agreement emerged from Chinese President Xi Jinping’s three-day state visit to Washington and was confirmed by both governments. China’s Foreign Ministry said on Saturday that the two sides would establish a bilateral communication channel for “AI incidents” and launch a formal China-US AI Dialogue to exchange views on the technology’s risks and benefits. The next round is scheduled for November.
The White House described the arrangement in similar terms, calling it a communication channel for incidents involving what the Trump administration now officially refers to as “super intelligence,” or SI. Neither government has yet explained exactly what would qualify as an incident, how the channel would operate or which agencies would use it.
