US puts a bilateral AI-safety notification channel on the Trump-Xi summit table as Beijing weighs in
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed over the weekend that Washington is proposing a standing bilateral mechanism for AI-incident notifications that presidents Trump and Xi could announce at their Thursday White House meeting. The proposal emerged from US-China AI dialogue talks begun earlier this year and would cover incidents with national-security implications. Beijing has not publicly committed, and analysts frame the channel as the most plausible concrete deliverable of a summit otherwise expected to focus on extending the November trade truce.
