US and China prepare for mid-September AI safety dialogue
The United States and China are preparing for their first formal bilateral dialogue dedicated exclusively to artificial intelligence safety, expected to take place in mid-September. This meeting follows a May 2026 agreement between leaders Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to restart official discussions on the technology.
The U.S. delegation is expected to be led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Key agenda items include the prevention of AI-driven cyberattacks, the potential for autonomous AI agents to act without human oversight, and frameworks for information sharing. The U.S. has proposed that AI laboratories in both nations adopt self-monitoring practices to mitigate emerging risks.
The dialogue is positioned as a precursor to a broader summit between Trump and Xi Jinping scheduled for September 24 in Washington. Notably, the AI safety discussions are being kept separate from ongoing disputes regarding semiconductor export controls to prevent technical safety cooperation from being used as political leverage.
