GoKawiilBessent announces new U.S.-China dialogue on 'super intelligence' AI risks
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations that Washington and Beijing have set up a dialogue mechanism focused on 'super intelligence,' aimed at guarding against shared AI risks and preventing misunderstandings between the two systems. He said the arrangement involves exchanging testing best practices and alerting each other to serious AI incidents, while stressing the two countries should 'harbor no illusions' about their ongoing rivalry.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The announcement suggests Washington wants limited safety coordination with Beijing without slowing its own AI race, reflecting Trump's reported openness to light 'guardrails' while resisting anything that could cede ground to China. China's foreign ministry has previously pushed back on calls to restrain frontier AI development, which could limit how substantive this new mechanism proves in practice.
- U.S. and China have created a dialogue mechanism on 'super intelligence' AI risks.
- The plan includes sharing testing practices and reporting serious AI incidents to each other.
- Bessent emphasized continued strategic competition despite the cooperative gesture.
