Trump-Xi Summit in Beijing Should Make Shared AI Risks a Priority
Security concerns prompted by the limited release of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos signal it is time to start a new government-to-government AI risk reduction dialogue between the United States and China, starting with the upcoming Trump-Xi summit, set to take place in Beijing next week. The purpose should not be to negotiate specific outcomes, but rather to lay the groundwork for a common understanding of both AI’s opportunities, as well as the range of its possible harmful and possible countermeasures. Some reports suggest the US and China are considering putting AI issues on the summit agenda.
The advent of Claude Mythos was apparently a gamechanger, with the administration now considering a US government review requirement before the release of new AI models. It should also motivate the administration to seek common ground with China to ensure that AI models do not facilitate the acquisition of biological or chemical weapons by bad actors and do not facilitate cyberattacks.
