US and China hold high-level talks on artificial intelligence in Geneva

In Geneva, high-level representatives from the United States and China will meet to talk about artificial intelligence (AI) on Tuesday. They want to discuss the risks of this fast-changing technology and ways to create shared rules to manage it. This meeting is the first one under an agreement made during a meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco in November. Both the U.S. and China think AI is very important for their national security and economic growth. The U.S. government wants to focus on making sure AI is safe, secure, and trustworthy. They will talk about how they are working with leading companies in the sector and requiring safety tests for AI products. The U.S. government is worried that China's efforts in AI could harm the national security of the U.S. and its allies. They want to stay ahead of China in using AI for weapons. China and the U.S. will discuss issues like the risks of AI technology and how to manage it globally. Experts say both countries are investing a lot in AI for civilian and military use. China has been hesitant to talk about the risks of AI with the U.S. These meetings are a chance for U.S. officials to understand how China sees and deals with AI risks. While there may not be any immediate agreements to reduce AI risks, the talks could help build trust and understanding between the two countries. Governments worldwide are racing to figure out how to control AI as it advances quickly and starts to change many parts of daily life. Leaders from different countries will meet in Seoul next week to talk about the safety of advanced AI models. The U.S. and China will meet in Geneva to discuss advanced artificial intelligence. The U.S. officials say they won't negotiate their policies during the talks, but they want to work on reducing risks from AI. President Biden's administration wants to talk to China about different issues to avoid misunderstandings. The U.S. wants China and Russia to agree that only humans, not AI, should decide on using nuclear weapons. The U.S. plans to put limits on AI models to protect them from countries like China and Russia. U.S. officials will lead the talks with Chinese officials to discuss these issues. U.S. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer will suggest ways to address AI risks in the coming weeks. He believes the U.S. needs to lead in making laws about AI because of competition with China and their different goals for AI technology. Chinese authorities want to develop their own AI technology that they can control.
