Top U.S. and Chinese envoys are in Geneva discussing AI technology risks, including deepfakes and disinformation.

The Geneva meeting is the first under a new bilateral AI dialogue agreed upon by Presidents Biden and Xi.

The U.S. seeks to establish AI guidelines for responsible use and economic growth, while China exhibits a cautious stance.

U.S. officials are proposing voluntary AI company commitments and safety tests for AI products to address potential risks.

Geneva was chosen for its diplomatic significance and its role in hosting the AI for Good conference annually.

The talks represent a move to align the U.S. and China on AI approaches and risk mitigation ahead of a global AI safety meeting in Seoul.
