Chinese and US officials will on Tuesday hold the first meeting in a dialogue on artificial intelligence that Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping agreed at a summit in San Francisco last year.
US officials said the two sides would meet in Geneva following earlier discussions on the issue, including between US national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi.
“Our approach on China remains focused on ‘invest, align and compete’ but we also believe intense competition requires intense diplomacy to reduce the risk of miscalculation and unintended conflict. This is particularly true in the case of AI,” said one US official.
