Washington and Beijing are considering launching official discussions on artificial intelligence, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The considerations come with the two also potentially putting AI on the agenda for a U.S.-China summit in Beijing next week, between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping.
A key point of focus for both sides are the potential risks posed by AI models behaving erratically, autonomous military systems, and AI-driven attacks by non-state actors, the WSJ report said.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will lead the American side of AI discussions, while Beijing is yet to designate its counterpart, the WSJ reported.
The planned discussions come amid growing focus on the use of AI in autonomous weapons and in large-scale cyberattacks. AI startup Anthropic recently decided to not release its most advanced model, Mythos, to the public, claiming that the model held the potential for facilitating widespread cyberattacks.
