US and China to establish direct hotline on artificial intelligence risks
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the United States and China had agreed on an official framework focused on artificial intelligence security risks. The parties plan to meet again in Shenzhen within two months and establish a direct communication channel for potential crises.
The United States and China will establish an official bilateral framework called the "US-China Artificial Intelligence Dialogues" to manage artificial intelligence security risks. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the parties would meet again in Shenzhen, in southern China, within two months.
The arrangement, announced after preparatory talks in New York, took shape following 12 hours of negotiations between Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng on Monday at JPMorgan Chase's headquarters in Manhattan. The talks focused on working-level arrangements ahead of a planned White House summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Framework ahead of the Washington summit
Bessent said negotiations were continuing to turn the strong personal relationship between the two leaders into workable agreements at the team level. The framework is expected to regulate communication between the two countries over security risks that artificial intelligence could create.
Communication and protocols for crises
One of the issues the parties are working on is a dedicated crisis hotline to be used in the event of technological failures or tensions that could escalate accidentally. Bessent said they wanted to establish an incident notification line that would ensure continuous communication.
At the next stage, joint protocols will be established for critical threats arising from uncontrollable autonomous systems and the proliferation of access to cyber and biological weapons among non-state actors.
Bessent opposes immunity for artificial intelligence companies
Bessent also assessed US domestic artificial intelligence policies and opposed leading artificial intelligence developers' demands for legal immunity at the federal level.
Bessent criticized artificial intelligence laboratories for seeking government protection from liability while describing the risk of catastrophic system failure as 10 percent. He argued that such exemptions would benefit private companies but would work against the interests of the American public.
Bessent also said the national strategy should not focus solely on expanding the capabilities of commercial artificial intelligence models. Calling for stronger defense structures, Bessent pointed to the Gold Eagle workshop among federal initiatives aimed at building resilience alongside the rapid growth of the private sector.
