Das echte KI -Rennen: Amerika braucht mehr als Innovation, um mit China zu konkurrieren

[SS from the essay by Colin Kahl, Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation and a Senior Adviser at RAND; and Jim Mitre, Vice President and Director of RAND Global and Emerging Risks.]

The United States and China, moreover, have a profound obligation to themselves and the world to collaborate to reduce AI risks. Following the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, the United States and the Soviet Union built guardrails around their nuclear competition. They cooperated on negotiations for the 1970 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, recognizing that an uncontrolled race to the nuclear frontier could send humanity hurtling off a cliff. Washington and Beijing today need to chart a similarly narrow path between AI competition and collaboration. They could start with a bilateral agreement to share AI incident information and exchange best practices on AI safety, control, and alignment with human values. Further talks should focus on how to handle scenarios of misused or uncontrolled AGI.
