US and China Discuss 'Hotline' to Warn of AI Incidents
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the United States and China are considering establishing a special communication channel to warn each other if artificial intelligence poses a national security threat. This proposal follows lengthy talks between US officials and a Chinese delegation led by Vice Premier He Lifeng, ahead of President Xi Jinping's visit to the White House on Thursday. The initiative aims to mitigate rising tensions and mistrust regarding AI development, despite previous disagreements where Beijing criticized Western warnings as alarmist and President Trump dismissed them as a hoax.
