00:02The U.S. wants a new warning system with China for when something goes wrong with AI and rises
00:07to the level of a national security threat. The idea came up during talks in New York between
00:13top U.S. and Chinese officials ahead of President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington this week.
00:18Treasury Secretary Scott Besson says the U.S. is proposing what he calls a notification mechanism
00:24so the world's two biggest AI powers can alert each other to serious incidents.
00:30Well, the notification for whether they're incidents, whether there has been something
00:37that rises up to a national security level from AI, because we think that just like with
00:47any cross-border activity, that moving from opaque to more transparency between the number one and
00:56the number two AI powers in the world, very important. The two sides agreed to keep the AI
01:02conversation going. Chinese state media confirmed AI was discussed, but did not mention the U.S.
01:07proposal. They also agreed to get a new board of trade up and running. U.S. Trade Representative
01:13Jameson Greer says they're discussing lower tariffs on some non-sensitive goods, potentially including
01:19Chinese consumer products and U.S. energy, agricultural goods and medical devices.
