Trump’s China rivalry and “AI race” delusion may endanger US, experts say

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that Trump and Xi will discuss an AI safety notification mechanism that would let each country alert the other to dangerous or unpredictable AI behavior and share common goals. The proposal faces skepticism from China, which doubts U.S. intentions beyond limiting its AI capabilities. Meanwhile, Trump has expanded export controls and Congress considers bills to further restrict Chinese access to AI chips and hardware.
