US and China Establish Super Intelligence Dialogue and Incident Channel
Record added
The United States and China agreed during President Xi Jinping's September state visit to establish a bilateral communication channel for incidents involving what the White House calls super intelligence. They also established a dialogue to exchange views on the technology's risks and benefits, with the next exchange due by November 2026, according to a September 25 White House fact sheet. The document does not publish incident thresholds, response times or binding safety commitments.
Why it matters: A direct channel could reduce the risk of misunderstanding during a serious AI incident, but its practical value depends on which events trigger contact and how quickly each side responds. Those operating details remain to be seen; the announcement itself is not evidence that a crisis-response protocol is already functioning.
