In a significant move toward global technological cooperation, China and the United States have agreed to initiate an intergovernmental dialogue on artificial intelligence (AI). The announcement was made on Tuesday by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun during a regular press briefing.
The agreement follows constructive exchanges between the two heads of state during US President Donald Trump's visit to China, where the leaders discussed the critical importance of AI regulation and governance.
As the two preeminent powers in the field of artificial intelligence, Guo emphasized that China and the US should work collaboratively to promote the development and oversight of the technology. The goal of this cooperation is to ensure that AI serves human progress and contributes to the common good of the international community.
This planned dialogue represents a strategic effort to coordinate on the ethical and operational frameworks of AI, aiming to balance rapid innovation with global stability and shared benefit.
