The United States and China plan to hold talks on artificial intelligence in September, marking the first formal AI dialogue under President Donald Trump. The discussions, expected to be led by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, will focus on managing risks from advanced AI models, including security, intellectual property and regulation.

The move follows growing concerns in both countries over each other’s AI capabilities as competition intensifies. While details such as agenda, participants and venue remain undecided, the talks are likely to precede President Xi Jinping’s planned U.S. visit.

Both sides are grappling with how to regulate frontier AI technologies that could impact military use, cyber security and critical infrastructure. The discussions are expected to be preliminary, focusing on defining key terms and establishing a framework for future engagement rather than delivering major policy outcomes.
