Leo Schwartz(@leomschwartz):On a potential AI slowdown, Treasury Sec. Bessent said that the U.S. and China discussed a mechanism called the U.S.-China AI dialogue and have agreed to meet again. The U.S. proposed a notification mechanism between the two countries and “we want a shared vision of common goals and threats.” The notification system for incidents would be whether something rises up to the national security level from AI. “We think that just like any cross-border activity, moving from opaque to more transparency between the number one and number two AI powers in the world is very important.” U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer said that U.S. chip export controls were not on the agenda.
