US officials intend to highlight security concerns with China’s development of artificial intelligence when they meet representatives from that country to launch discussions over the emerging technology, according to senior administration officials.

Representatives from the US and China will meet Tuesday in Geneva, according to the officials, who briefed reporters about the upcoming discussions on condition of anonymity. The meeting, which a senior official characterized as the first of its kind, initiates talks agreed to last year by US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to address security and safety concerns over AI even as the two countries intensify their competition in that sphere.
