U.S. officials said the Geneva talks will not open the door for China to influence
technology policy. Representatives from both countries will discuss ways to reduce
the dangers associated with AI, they said.
"We certainly don't see eye to eye ... on many AI topics and applications, but we
believe that communication on critical AI risks can make the world safer," a U.S.
senior official said.
Beijing and Washington are in a tight race to dominate the AI landscape. China is
leveraging AI “capabilities across civilian as well as military/national security
sectors," a U.S official said, adding that Beijing’s use of AI could compromise “both
U.S. and allied national security."
Another official said the U.S. is competing with China to set the rules on AI and
“explore if some of the rules can be embraced by all countries.”
The AI talks were announced last month following U.S. Secretary of State Antony
Blinken’s visit to Beijing, where he met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to the dialogue
in November.
The United States is being represented by officials from the White House National
Security Council and Departments of State and Commerce at the discussion.
The U.S. delegation is leading the talks with representatives from China's foreign
ministry and state planner, the National Development and Reform Commission.
A U.S. official said last week that the State Department wants China and Russia to
make a commitment that AI will not make decisions about nuclear employment.
