The United States and China are set to engage in their first high-level talks specifically focused on artificial intelligence, discussing risks and safety.

The imminent discussions will tackle the strategic and broader implications of AI technologies amid the intense technological rivalry.

The AI talks aim to address mutual concerns, enhance cooperation, and potentially ease tensions between the two nations in the AI sector.

Recent US export restrictions on AI chips have impacted semiconductor manufacturers, while China progresses towards self-sufficiency in chip production.

The dialogue will highlight the AI competition momentum and the possibility of collaborative efforts in steering global AI development.

Concerns over China's trade practices and its military involvement with Russia are additional topics of interest for the US in the upcoming AI discussions.
