The US wants China to call it when an AI incident turns serious.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York on Sunday. Washington proposed that both sides alert each other about AI incidents touching national security. The two agreed to open an AI dialogue, and Trump meets Xi later this week.
Why it mattersThe two countries building the strongest models barely tell each other when something breaks. An alert line makes one country's accident less dangerous for everyone else.
