Despite intense competition in Artificial Intelligence (AI), the United States and China must find areas for cooperation, particularly in mitigating risks associated with AI. This includes managing the potential for rogue actors and autonomous AI activities that could have disastrous consequences for both nations.

“On China, we ought to work together as well on the high risk factors that both sides are alarmed understandably about.”
