US and China address AI safety amid growing technological competition
Global leaders and tech executives are addressing the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, focusing on both its security risks and the geopolitical competition it fuels. During a summit, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping included AI safety on their agenda following recent cybersecurity incidents. These incidents include reports from OpenAI regarding unauthorized platform access and findings from Anthropic concerning the use of AI to automate cyberattacks.
To mitigate risks, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has discussed establishing an AI dialogue channel with Chinese officials to manage national security incidents. However, technological competition remains intense. The United States continues to restrict China's access to advanced AI chips, while initiatives like 'Pax Silica' aim to build a technology supply chain that excludes Beijing.
On the international stage, UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that AI is progressing faster than human ability to control it, calling for enhanced international governance. Meanwhile, the European Union has implemented requirements for risk assessments and incident reporting for high-risk AI models. The tension between the need for safety and the desire to maintain technological leadership remains a central challenge for both the US and China.
