Representatives from China and the United States convened in Geneva this week to discuss potential agreements on governing artificial intelligence (AI) at an international conference. The meeting comes despite significant differences in how each country regulates AI domestically.

This diplomatic engagement follows a U.S. executive order issued during the Trump administration aimed at outcompeting China in technology development. The discussions in Geneva represent an effort by both nations to find common ground on managing the rapidly advancing AI technology on a global scale.

The conference is taking place in the Swiss city of Geneva, with delegations from both countries present to negotiate AI governance frameworks.
