US open to discussing shared AI risks with China, says Treasury Secretary

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the United States is open to discussing shared artificial intelligence risks with China during upcoming weekend talks.

The discussions are set to cover both open and closed weight models to avoid bifurcation of the two systems.

Bessent's meeting with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng precedes a scheduled meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping next week.
