A new bilateral agreement establishes a structured channel for the United States and China to discuss risks associated with artificial intelligence. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent proposed a notification mechanism for AI incidents that rise to the national security level to be reviewed by world leaders this week. This framework focuses on transparency and emergency warnings but excludes advanced AI chip and semiconductor equipment export controls from current talks.

President Xi Jinping will travel to the US from September 23 to September 25 for meetings with President Donald Trump. Bessent told the Financial Times that the two nations will likely meet again in two months to expand the AI dialogue and operationalize shared safety initiatives.
