The United States and China have agreed to establish a mechanism to\ndiscuss issues related to the development of artificial intelligence\n(AI) technology, stated US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.<\/p>\n
Bessent made the announcement following his meeting with Chinese Vice\nPremier He Lifeng in New York on Sunday (20\/9), ahead of Chinese\nPresident Xi Jinping\u2019s scheduled visit to Washington this weekend and\nhis talks with US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important thing is to start the conversation, so we have\nformed the AI Dialogue. We will likely meet again in two months,\u201d\nBessent said in an interview with the Financial Times published on\nMonday.<\/p>\n
The US aims to manage the risks associated with AI development,\nparticularly regarding uncontrolled AI agents and cyber threats from\nnon-state actors, Bessent noted.<\/p>\n
Washington is also concerned about the potential use of AI to create\nbiological weapons, he added.<\/p>\n
China is more focused on the regulation of the AI technology itself,\nan unnamed senior US official told the newspaper.<\/p>\n
Recently, concerns have emerged in the US that AI could pose a threat\nto humanity. Trump has openly supported the continued development of the\nfield, asserting that the US must not allow China to take the lead.<\/p>\n
Xi Jinping is scheduled to arrive in Washington on 24 September.\nTrump previously visited Beijing in May, accompanied by a delegation of\nUS business representatives.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/us-and-china-agree-to-establish-dialogue-on-ai-development-1789995722", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
