US, China agree to establish 'communication channel' for AI incidents

The United States and China have agreed to establish a
communication channel for discussing various incidents involving
artificial intelligence (AI).

This was stated in documents published by the White House
following Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to the United
States on September 23–25 and his meetings with US President Donald
Trump.

"The countries have established a US-China dialogue on
superintelligence to exchange views on the risks and benefits
associated with superintelligence. The next exchange will take
place no later than November 2026. The United States and China have
also agreed to establish a bilateral communication channel for
incidents involving superintelligence," the documents said.

Trump previously said he considered the term "artificial
intelligence" to be "unfortunate and inaccurate". According to the
US president, such technologies should instead be referred to as
"superintelligence."

Xi, for his part, struck a more cautious note. Speaking at the
White House on Thursday, he emphasised the need for the US and
China to responsibly manage their rivalry as global powers while
ensuring AI remains under human oversight. He said both nations
"have both the capability and responsibility to develop and manage
AI for good," stressing that its development must always remain
under human control.
