U.S. and China Establish AI Safety Channel, Continue Dialogue on Trade and Military

Both nations also confirmed their commitment to ongoing discussions regarding trade and military matters. Analysts said these agreements did not represent major breakthroughs. However, they highlighted the importance of creating working groups. These groups could help prevent disputes between the two countries from escalating, according to the analysts.
