China and US envoys will hold the first top-level dialogue on artificial intelligence in Geneva

High-level envoys from the United States and China are set to meet in Geneva for talks about artificial intelligence. The issues to be discussed include the risks of the technology and ways to set shared standards to manage it. The meeting Tuesday is billed as an opening exchange of views in an intergovernmental dialogue on AI agreed upon during a meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco in November. Both the U.S. and China see AI as crucial for national security and economic growth.
