US, China to hold AI talks in September, sources say
The United States and China will hold talks over AI in September, according to five people familiar with the matter who spoke to Reuters. These talks are a significant outcome of the Trump-Xi summit in May and will likely take place before Chinese President Xi Jinping's planned September 24 visit to the U.S. The purpose of these discussions is to mitigate the risks posed by each other's increasingly powerful frontier models.
The September talks, first reported by Reuters on Tuesday, would be led on the U.S. side by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, according to four of the sources. The identities of other participants for the U.S. and China, as well as the agenda and location, are still under deliberation as preparations are at an initial stage, according to three people. Beijing and Washington are weighing how to regulate advanced AI models that could strengthen military capabilities, enable cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, and disrupt labor markets. The White House, U.S. State Department, and U.S. Treasury did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
