The United States and China will hold the first intergovernmental dialogue on the risks posed by artificial intelligence.
The United States announced that talks will be held in Geneva on Tuesday, based on an agreement reached between US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping at their summit last November.
A senior U.S. official said the country's delegation will include senior officials from the White House and State Department.
The official also said the dialogue was not aimed at producing a specific outcome, but rather to exchange views on the technological risks posed by AI.
The U.S. government argues that China's rapidly advancing AI technology is reaching the military and could jeopardize the security of the United States and its allies. The US delegation intends to convey its concerns to the Chinese side.
Another official said that while the United States may not be fully aligned with China on many AI issues, it can make the world a safer place by discussing significant risks.
The two countries remain at odds over economic issues and Taiwan. However, the two countries agreed to continue dialogue and work toward stabilizing relations.
Dialogues and meetings have been held at various levels between the two governments.
