us and china experts propose shared rules to prevent ai systems from making autonomous decisions about deploying nuclear weapons, a move that could impact global security.
experts from the us and china, including melanie sisson of the brookings institution and tianjiao jiang of fudan university, have proposed shared rules to prevent ai systems from making autonomous decisions about deploying nuclear weapons. the proposals, published ahead of a planned meeting between trump and xi on september 24, spell out several red lines, including no ai system launching nuclear weapons on its own or attacking nuclear command systems. humans must retain sole control over ai-driven cyberattacks on strategic infrastructure. the recommendations build on an agreement biden and xi reached in november 2024. jiang also proposes a hotline for ai incidents to prevent accidental escalation.
