US proposes AI incident notification mechanism to China in New York talks

The United States proposed an AI notification mechanism to China during talks in New York on Sunday, aiming to increase transparency between the two nations on artificial intelligence risks. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested notifications for national security-related incidents, saying it is important to move from opacity to transparency between the world's top two AI powers. He called the meeting with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng "very fruitful." The talks precede a Washington summit between Presidents Trump and Xi, where trade and technology tensions will be addressed. Discussions also covered extending a trade truce expiring in November, rare earth exports, and broader economic relations.
