The US and China should agree on international regulatory standards for
artificial intelligence (AI), akin to atomic-era guardrails, saidRo Khanna, the ranking member of theUS House Select Committee on China, in New York on Monday ahead of the two countries’ high-stakes summit. The remarks come two days before Chinese President
Xi Jinpingis set to arrive in Washington to meet with US PresidentDonald Trumpfor a closely watched summit where AI is expected to be on the agenda after the two countries agreed to establish a dialogue on the technology a day earlier. “I hope there will be an agreement between Trump and Xi Jinping to have some safety standards,” Khanna told the South China Morning Post. “To have a ban on recursive self-improving AI and also a certification standard and inspection standard to make sure we don’t have
AI modelsthat lose control or that are misused.” Khanna noted that the two leaders planned to discuss AI but said they needed a concrete framework to reach an agreement.
