AI arms race or not, the U.S. and China need to talk about the tech

# The U.S. and China Need to Talk About AI Before It Becomes a Weapon The United States and China are in a race to build the most powerful AI systems, but neither trusts the other—yet both need the other to cooperate to avoid dangerous conflicts. The U.S. has tried blocking China from getting advanced computer chips, but that alone won't stop AI development, and without rules in place, both countries could use AI for cyberattacks or military purposes. Trump's recent meetings in Beijing suggest U.S. officials want to set up a direct communication channel to negotiate AI safety guidelines, similar to how countries manage nuclear weapons.
