US-China AI safety and regulation discourse
Overview
Discussions regarding artificial intelligence safety and governance have centered on the balance between industry self-regulation and international cooperation between the United States and China.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has advocated for industry self-regulation, arguing that developers should take responsibility for managing risks and voluntarily slow development if necessary. He characterized certain warnings of existential risk as ‘alarmism’ and emphasized the importance of maintaining a technological advantage over China. To manage global risks, the US is pursuing a bilateral notification system with China to share information regarding significant AI-related incidents.
In a similar vein, former US Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin has called for increased US-China cooperation to address risks posed by rapid AI advancement, such as cyberattacks. Rubin noted that while the economic impact of AI remains uncertain, the risk of AI-related investments triggering a systemic financial crisis in the US is “extremely low” due to well-capitalized banks.
