Podcaster Nathan shares insights from his trip to China, exploring the potential for US-China collaboration on AI safety. He argues against the common US policy objection that 'China doesn't care about safety and won't slow down,' calling it an evidence-free endpoint.
During his visit, he attended WAIC in Shanghai and observed an AI safety hub launch in Beijing. By comparing safeguards, regulations, and debates over open weights between the two countries, he highlights the substantial room for productive exchange and collaboration.
