Researcher pours cold water on prospects of US-China AI safety collaboration
i_dg23 · x · 2026-09-01
Researcher jachiam0 pushes back on Dean Ball's optimism about a window for US-China AI safety cooperation, saying he is not optimistic.
He cites two core obstacles: the question of which rules should even be in play is so ambiguous that any serious attempt looks provocative from a national-security lens; and AI safety sits on a blurry continuum with the pace of progress in science, tech and economic success — areas where the US and China share no common ground on whether or how to pace things. He suspects his own side is deeply myopic about what productive AI safety collaboration would even look like.
