US, China cooperate on global AI governance despite intensifying competition

Its key AI agenda items focus on cooperation in tracking AI-powered cyberattacks, China's access to advanced American models, Washington's restrictions on open-source Chinese models, and preventing state-of-the-art frontier AI models from falling into the hands of non-state actors.

The excerpt lists the agenda items between the two countries and the report's conclusion, but does not name the officials involved, the setting in which the discussions took place, or a date on which they occurred. It also does not describe any mechanism for enforcement, any specific agreement reached, or any statement from either government about the talks.

The article presents the cooperation as taking place alongside continuing competition between the two countries. It reports that the US and Chinese approaches to global AI governance are described in the Center for Strategic and International Studies report as two distinct approaches, and that a third approach comes from the UN. The excerpt does not state how the three approaches relate to each other, whether they conflict or overlap, when the report was published, or what either government has said publicly about it.
