As artificial intelligence increasingly defines economic and strategic competition between the United States and China, the technology also creates extreme risks that transcend national borders. An individual could potentially use an AI model or a combination of models to engineer a dangerous pathogen, launch autonomous cyberattacks on power grids or hospital networks, or create and disseminate re...
The narrative presents a compelling case for U.S.-China cooperation on AI safety, framing it as a necessity to prevent catastrophic global risks. The strongest version of this argument acknowledges the inherent tension between competition and collaboration, while proposing practical steps—such as joint testing protocols and shared safety baselines—to mitigate dangers without compromising proprietary advantages. The article effectively highlights the asymmetries in AI safety infrastructure, with ...
