China said it would curb exports of technology, including artificial intelligence, under a proposal that cited national-security risks. The move would place AI among the technologies affected by China’s proposed export curbs, according to PBS NewsHour.
The proposal came as China and the United States made progress in discussions on AI safety and governance, PBS NewsHour reported. The two countries were also moving toward creating a notification mechanism for AI incidents that could threaten national security, the outlet said. The reported progress covers both the safety and governance discussions and the planned incident-notification mechanism.
