US Treasury official proposes AI notification framework in talks with China

In a multihour dialogue with Chinese officials, US Treasury representative Scott Bessent put forward the idea of a joint AI notification mechanism. The suggested framework would allow both nations to exchange information on artificial-intelligence initiatives, align on common goals, and identify shared security concerns. Bessent highlighted the meeting’s success and expressed a desire to define a common vision for AI governance.

The proposal reflects growing worries about the rapid advancement of AI and its strategic implications. No concrete agreement was reached, but both sides indicated willingness to continue discussions.
