US and China discuss proposed AI safety notification system and new dialogue
Washington proposed an AI safety notification mechanism and a new channel for US-China discussion during talks, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters, according to NDTV. The proposals would focus particularly on national security concerns. A report has also linked Bessent to a possible advisory role on AI.
The United States proposed creating an artificial-intelligence safety notification mechanism and a new US-China dialogue during talks, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters, according to NDTV. Bessent said the proposed arrangements would place particular emphasis on national security concerns. The supplied material does not say whether China accepted the proposals or provide details about how either mechanism would operate.
The report also says Bessent could become President Donald Trump’s new AI adviser. That possibility is presented as a report rather than as a confirmed appointment. The available information does not identify the date or location of the talks, the participants other than Bessent, or the specific incidents or risks the proposed notification system would address.
It therefore confirms that Washington put forward the two ideas and that Bessent described them after the discussions. It does not establish whether the proposals will be implemented or whether Bessent will take on the reported advisory role.
