US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng agreed to a notification mechanism for AI incidents that reach the national security level. This incident line, part of a formalized US-China AI Dialogue, aims to increase transparency to address risks such as accidental cyberattacks and harmful use of technology by non-state actors. Both nations will convene again in 2 months in Shenzhen to continue these discussions.

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that semiconductor export controls were not part of the deliberations during an 8 hour meeting in New York. The diplomatic engagement provided a framework for a state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to meet President Donald Trump on September 24. While the US praised the engagement as successful, Chinese state media Xinhua mentioned the AI discussions only in the final line of its report.
