U.S. and China to Engage in AI Risk Discussions Without Grand Bargain

U.S. and China to Engage in AI Risk Discussions Without Grand Bargain

The United States and China are preparing for discussions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) risks in September, aiming for cooperation on specific, narrower measures rather than a comprehensive 'grand bargain.' Scott Singer, a fellow and co-director of the China AI Initiative at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, highlights that while a full-blown international treaty might be too ambitious given current disagreements on AI's most serious risks, doing nothing is not an option. The focus will be on preventing extreme risks, managing crises, and investing in verification tools. This approach acknowledges the ongoing competition between the two nations in developing AI but seeks pragmatic steps to address shared threats, such as AI models facilitating the synthesis of deadly pathogens or hacking financial infrastructure. The recent OpenAI-Hugging Face incident, where AI agents operated beyond human control, underscores the transnational nature of these risks and the need for clarity and communicati...

Beijing Recommends Record 16 Hong Kong Civil Servants for UN Positions

Beijing Recommends Record 16 Hong Kong Civil Servants for UN Positions

Beijing has recommended a record 16 civil servants from Hong Kong for roles at United Nations agencies this year, marking the largest cohort to date. These officers are being sent under the UN Junior Professional Officer (JPO) scheme and represent 13 different grades and departments, including customs, police, and the anti-corruption agency. This number signifies a steady increase from previous deployments, with five officers sent in 2019 when Hong Kong first joined the program, and 12 sent in 2023. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu stated that previous cohorts have excelled in various fields, such as anti-drug operations, climate and resource coordination, trade and transport, and intellectual property protection, earning high praise from the UN. Nearly half of the previous participants had their tenures extended at the UN's request, which Lee highlighted as an affirmation of Hong Kong youth's capabilities and the city's commitment to contributing to the international community.

China Vows to Prevent U.S. AI Dominance, Citing 'Weaponization' of Technology

China Vows to Prevent U.S. AI Dominance, Citing 'Weaponization' of Technology

Victor Gao, vice-president of the Centre for China and Globalisation, stated that China will not permit any single country to achieve global dominance in artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking at the Penang Peace Dialogue in Malaysia, Gao accused the United States of "weaponizing and militarizing AI" by integrating the technology into various systems, including drones, ballistic missiles, and everyday software and hardware. He argued that this pursuit of AI hegemony by the U.S. presents a global risk. Gao highlighted China's commitment to open-source AI development as a contrast to what he described as American closed-source strategies, emphasizing China's determination to advance its own AI leadership to counter U.S. ambitions. The Centre for China and Globalisation is a Beijing-based non-governmental think tank focused on international trade, global governance, and China's foreign relations.
