The US has proposed a notification mechanism to China for national security incidents involving AI ahead of a Trump-Xi summit U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday that the United States proposed a new “notification mechanism” to China for artificial intelligence (AI) incidents likely to affect national security. The proposal was part of discussions held over the weekend, ahead of the meeting scheduled for this week at the White House between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. “We want a shared vision on common goals and common threats,” Scott Bessent told reporters following talks in New York with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. “We think that, as with any cross-border activity, it is very important to move from opacity to greater transparency between the two largest AI powers in the world,” he added.

Trump has resisted calls to slow down the development of AI, arguing that doing so would allow Chinese companies to close the gap with American ones. The proposal comes after the news network CNN reported that the U.S. administration is considering bringing together leaders from major AI companies during Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States. It is unclear whether Donald Trump will participate in the meeting if it takes place, while Xi Jinping is not initially expected to be present. Among
