US, China to hold AI talks in September, sources say

The United States and China will hold talks over AI in September, five people familiar with the matter told Reuters, as the rival superpowers grapple with how to mitigate the risks posed by each other’s increasingly powerful frontier models. 

Why it matters

The AI talks  will likely take place before Chinese President Xi Jinping’s planned September 24 visit to the U.S. The dates, however, have not been finalised, they said. As economic, political and military rivals, China and the U.S. have grown increasingly anxious over each other’s AI capabilities amid an accelerating global AI race.
