U.S. Representative Ro Khanna Proposes U.S.-China AI Safety Agreement Amidst Strategic Competition
U.S. Representative Ro Khanna, Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, is set to propose a U.S.-China agreement focused on safety and monitoring standards for Artificial Intelligence (AI). This initiative comes as the U.S.-China competition continues to influence the international landscape, raising critical questions about diplomacy, economic security, technology, and the management of strategic risks. Representative Khanna will present his proposal during an event hosted by the Asia Society, where he will also engage in a conversation with the Hon. Dr. Kevin Rudd AC, Global President and CEO of Asia Society and former Prime Minister of Australia. The discussion will center on strategies for managing sustained strategic competition, reducing conflict risks, identifying areas for practical cooperation, and navigating the roles of both nations in an increasingly competitive global environment.
