Beijing says China, US should work together to promote AI governance
- On Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun announced that China and the United States agreed to launch an intergovernmental dialogue on artificial intelligence following constructive discussions between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing last week.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC on Thursday that Washington and Beijing will establish a 'protocol' to 'make sure non-state actors don't get a hold of these models,' with the 'two AI superpowers' now committed to dialogue.
- Sun Chenghao, a senior fellow at Tsinghua University's Center for International Security and Strategy, told AFP that dialogue topics 'might be broader' than in 2024, potentially covering 'AI's impact on society, for example on youth employment.'
- Keeping 'thorny issues such as the export of high-end US chips' separate from initial talks 'may help create a better atmosphere for talks between the two sides,' Sun added, signaling strategic compartmentalization of sensitive disputes.
- Despite this cooperation, fierce rivalry persists as The White House recently accused Chinese entities of 'industrial-scale' efforts to steal US technology, while Beijing blocked Meta's acquisition of a Chinese-founded AI agent tool.
