US and China agree to establish AI safety communication channel after high-level talks
US Treasury official Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng held high-level talks in New York, covering artificial intelligence, trade, and critical minerals. These discussions took place ahead of a planned summit between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Bessent characterized the talks as "very successful," indicating positive progress on several fronts. A key outcome was the agreement to establish an AI communication channel between the two nations. Bessent proposed an AI safety notification system to alert each other to incidents affecting national security, which some outlets described as an "AI-era red phone." Despite ongoing competition for AI dominance, both sides acknowledged shared concerns over AI safety. Further meetings on AI safety are scheduled to take place in Shenzhen in two months to discuss specific protocols for this new channel.
