00:01U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant announced that in talks with Chinese officials on Sunday,
00:07the two sides discussed setting up a way to communicate about AI issues called the U.S.-China
00:12AI Dialogue. He said the U.S. proposed a so-called notification mechanism for artificial intelligence
00:19incidents that could affect national security. Whether there are incidents, whether there has
00:26been something that rises up to a national security level from AI, because we think that
00:35just like with any cross-border activity, that moving from opaque to more transparency between
00:45the number one and the number two AI powers in the world is very important. The talks were a prelude
00:51to a planned White House meeting on Thursday between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese
00:55President Xi Jinping. It comes as both powers confront rising fears that increasingly capable
01:01artificial intelligence systems could wipe out humanity, offering a rare incentive for cooperation
01:07despite an intensifying raise for technological supremacy. So far, Trump has resisted calls to
01:13slow down AI development, saying that would help China catch up to U.S. companies.
