reuters.com [$]

Senior US and Chinese officials will meet in Shenzhen in about two months to discuss AI dangers and communication protocols for safety incidents, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday. Bessent told CNBC that talks with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng on Sunday established a formalized AI dialogue, including an "incident line" for safety communications. He also reiterated that AI developers should be liable for creations like the Hugging Face attack. Bessent said the US-China trade truce, set to expire November 10, was discussed but did not confirm an extension. He praised the relationship's stability since last fall.
