00:01U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant announced that in talks with Chinese officials on Sunday,
00:07the two sides discussed setting up a way to communicate about AI issues called the
00:11U.S.-China AI Dialogue. He said the U.S. proposed a so-called notification mechanism for artificial
00:18intelligence incidents that could affect national security.
00:22Good evening. Whether there are incidents, whether there has been something that rises
00:27up to a national security level from AI, because we think that just like with any cross-border
00:38activity, that moving from opaque to more transparency between the number one and the
00:46number two AI powers in the world is very important. The talks were a prelude to a planned White House
00:52meeting on Thursday between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
00:57It comes as both powers confront rising fears that increasingly capable artificial intelligence
01:02systems could wipe out humanity, offering a rare incentive for cooperation despite an
01:07intensifying race for technological supremacy. So far, Trump has resisted calls to slow down
01:13AI development, saying that would help China catch up to U.S. companies.
