In a speech at the National Committee in New York, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that Washington and Beijing should harbor no illusions about their differences while cooperating in the field of artificial intelligence and competing for global supremacy.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated at an event in New York that cooperation to mitigate artificial intelligence risks and competition for global leadership are being pursued simultaneously. Bessent announced the establishment of a new dialogue mechanism focused on "superintelligence" (SI) to counter shared risks, prevent system misunderstandings, and share best practices for evaluating and testing advanced models before their deployment.
Alongside this established dialogue mechanism, the goals include keeping human judgment at the command center and creating a direct alert channel for serious incidents. While it was noted that these steps followed the consensus reached during the visit in September, the two countries are expected to continue talks on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders' Summit. It is anticipated that US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet at the summit.
