Trump’s China rivalry and “AI race” delusion may endanger US, experts say
US proposal for US-China AI safety alert channel lacks technical experts, and China hasn't endorsed it ahead of Trump-Xi talks.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a proposed US-China AI safety notification mechanism to alert each side when AI systems pose threats or behave unpredictably, ahead of Trump-Xi meetings. China has not publicly acknowledged the plan, and sources told Politico it involves no officials with technical expertise to assess risk urgency. Experts warn export controls, pending chip legislation, and DOJ theft accusations against six Chinese AI firms could undermine cooperation.
- Proposed US-China channel would share AI safety alerts on unpredictable behavior
- China has not publicly endorsed the mechanism
- Critics note no technical experts assigned to assess alerts
- Export controls and theft accusations strain cooperation before Trump-Xi summit
