US, China agree to ‘super-intelligence’ dialogue amid AI tensions
Driving the news: The White House released a fact sheet Friday evening outlining the results of Trump’s summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
- Both sides agreed to refer to AI as “super intelligence” or “SI,” the White House said – Trump’s new preferred term for the technology.
- They will create a “US-China Super Intelligence (SI) Dialogue” to meet on “SI risks and benefits,” with the next meeting scheduled by November.
Zoom: The administration also said there would be a “bilateral communications channel for SI incidents,” which some have compared to the Cold War-era “red phone” between the two nations.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent focused on creating this channel during last weekend’s pre-summit meetings with Chinese officials.
Yes, but: It is not clear what type of incidents would result in the use of the channel, nor what types of notifications each party would give to the other.
