US-China Militaries Discuss Limiting AI in Nuclear Arsenals

June 25, 2024

The US and China held initial talks in Geneva, Switzerland, in May to discuss the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in managing and deploying nuclear weapons. The US had sought negotiations with China for years on nuclear matters, but Beijing was reportedly reluctant to proceed. Despite this, there may be willingness from China to discuss other issues related to nuclear arms. The discussions took place at a senior official level, with US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell and Chinese officials participating.
