The United States and China plan their first official talks on artificial intelligence, according to reports from Quartz and The Independent. The U.S. delegation is expected to be led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Both outlets say the discussions are scheduled for September, though specific details are not yet fully confirmed. Quartz reports that dates, participating officials, and the agenda are still being finalized, indicating that the scope of the talks has not been publicly set. The Independent similarly reports that the September meeting is expected to take place and highlights Bessent’s role as the head of the U.S. delegation. No source provides additional specifics on negotiation topics, format, or outcomes. The planned talks come as both countries seek to coordinate on AI-related issues, but the information available so far focuses primarily on leadership and timing rather than concrete policy proposals. Further announcements are expected once the countries finalize the participants and agenda.
