China and the US are competing for AI dominance but have shared concerns over safety

  • On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York, proposing a new "notification mechanism" for AI incidents impacting national security ahead of the Trump-Xi Jinping meeting.
  • President Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted the United States must maintain a technological edge, stating "whoever wins AI, wins," while export controls restrict China's compute power and access to advanced chips.
  • Focusing on shared risks like AI-enabled cyberattacks and major model failures, Sun Chenghao from the Center for International Security and Strategy at Tsinghua University says dialogue could help both countries build technical confidence over time.
  • Rejecting U.S. allegations of "malicious" distillation from American AI models, Chinese officials argue such techniques are common industry practices rather than evidence of technology theft.
  • Disagreements between the U.S. and China "make dialogue even more necessary," according to Xiao Qian, vice dean of the Institute for AI International Governance, who sees meaningful cooperation as still possible despite tensions.
