US-China Relations Committee Head Urges Cooperation in AI

Stephen Orlins, the president of the National Committee on United States-China Relations (NCUSCR), emphasized the need for cooperation between China and the United States in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Speaking at the annual China Development Forum in Beijing, Orlins suggested that both countries should avoid duplicating efforts in AI research and development.

AI has become a critical point of tension between the two nations, with the U.S. imposing multiple rounds of sanctions on China’s AI and chip sectors to hinder its technological advancements. Washington has justified these measures by citing national security concerns, particularly the risk of China using AI for military-related purposes.

The NCUSCR is a non-profit advisory organization that fosters dialogue and understanding between the U.S. and China on various issues, including technology.
