US and China to hold first formal AI dialogue amid calls for balanced tech policy

The United States and China are preparing for their first formal dialogue on Artificial Intelligence, with President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington expected to place AI high on the agenda. While Washington emphasizes tighter controls on sensitive technologies, the author argues against a false choice between engagement and security. Instead, a disciplined risk management approach is advocated, recognizing that not all technologies or Chinese institutions pose the same level of risk. The piece suggests protecting genuinely sensitive areas without sacrificing the openness that has historically been a strength of American science. AI
