It is emphasized that the US policy towards China will not be discussed, as the purpose of the meeting is to raise the issue of AI risk mitigation.

"This is the first meeting of its kind. So we expect to discuss the full range of risks, but we wouldn't want to prejudge any specific details", a senior U.S. official told reporters ahead of the meeting, answering a question about discussing nuclear weapons.

He added that China's rapid adoption of AI capabilities in the civilian, national, and military sectors "has often undermined the security of the United States and its allies". Therefore, these talks, according to the official, will allow Washington to tell Beijing about its concerns in this regard.

"To be very clear, the talks with Beijing are not focused on advancing any form of technical cooperation or cross-border research cooperation on any issue. And our technology protection policies are not negotiable", he added.
  • On May 10, a study conducted by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) reportedly found numerous cases of AI systems deceiving users, bluffing and pretending to be human.
