US and China schedule first dedicated AI safety dialogue for mid-September, Bessent to lead US side
The United States and China are preparing to hold their first official bilateral AI safety talks since President Trump's return to office in mid-September, Reuters reported, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expected to lead the US delegation. The proposed agenda covers coordination on monitoring AI-directed cyberattacks and a 'self-policing' framework for US and Chinese labs, with the meeting positioned as a deliverable ahead of Trump's September 24 summit with Xi Jinping.
