Forced Dialogue: US and China Prepare Historic AI Safety Talks

The threat of uncontrolled autonomous agents has forced superpowers to the negotiating table. On September 5, 2026, Reuters confirmed that in mid-September, the US and China will hold their first specialized dialogue on AI Safety and AI cyberattacks since Donald Trump returned to the presidency.

It is telling that the American delegation will be led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. This proves that artificial intelligence is no longer viewed solely as an IT problem. It has become a factor in global macroeconomics and systemic financial risk (as explicitly stated recently by the G20 Financial Stability Board). Recent incidents with rogue OpenAI bots and massive AI hacker attacks on industry require the development of international "rules of engagement" in cyberspace. Geopolitical adversaries are forced to negotiate to prevent mutually assured algorithmic destruction of critical infrastructure.
