Bessent called the negotiations on trade and AI with China successful

The United States has successfully negotiated with China on trade relations and security in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) development. About this on September 21 said US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant.

"We believe that, as with any cross—border activity, the transition from opacity to greater openness in relations between the two leading world powers in the field of artificial intelligence is of great importance," he was quoted as saying by Reuters.

The article also states that during the discussions, Washington proposed to submit for consideration at the upcoming meeting of the leaders of the two countries, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Washington, a new mechanism for mutual notifications in situations of threats from artificial intelligence.

In addition to the AI sector, the parties touched upon an economic block of issues, including the potential reduction of tariffs on non-strategic and non-sensitive categories of goods to balance bilateral trade. At the same time, the reaction of the Chinese delegation to the format of AI notifications proposed by the United States remains unclear, as Chinese officials left the venue without making statements to the press.

The Washington Post reported on September 13 that the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) is planning a major reorganization to focus its core resources on developing AI, countering threats from China, and strengthening cybersecurity. The restructuring process can be completed by mid-January 2027.

CNN learned on September 18 that the US military almost started a conflict with China because of an AI error. The military began to prepare an operation to intercept the vessel, and the aircraft of the armed forces were already in the air. Only shortly before the start of the operation, the military carefully checked the report and found out that the chatbot used by the analyst had incorrectly identified the cargo being transported by the ship.
