Did the U.S. and China agree to set up an AI safety communication channel in September 2026?

Yes. After a three-day summit in Washington between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, both sides said on September 26, 2026, that they would set up a communication mechanism for artificial intelligence–related incidents to discuss related risks and benefits, with an AI-specific dialogue scheduled for November.

The two governments also said they would accelerate work on military crisis communications, including a planned memorandum of understanding on preventing crises between their militaries. Source: Associated Press via ABC News.
