The U.S. and China are holding their first meeting in Geneva on Tuesday as part of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Dialogue that Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping agreed to at a summit in San Francisco last year. The goal is to reduce the risk of miscalculation and unintended conflict. U.S. officials said the talks would focus on risk and security, with an emphasis on advanced AI systems. The U.S. intends to outline its position on managing AI risks and raise concerns about Chinese AI activities that threaten U.S. national security. The discussion will also focus on global AI risk management. It is not aimed at technical or other cooperation between the two countries.
"Our approach on China remains focused on ‘invest, align and compete’ but we also believe intense competition requires intense diplomacy to reduce the risk of miscalculation and unintended conflict."

SoftBank plans to build its own AI chips by 2025 and invest $64 billion (10 trillion yen) in AI chips, robotics, data centers and more, reports Nikkei Asia. SoftBank subsidiary Arm, known for its chip design in smartphones, will set up its own AI chip division. A prototype is expected by spring 2025, and mass production by contract manufacturers could begin in the fall. Arm will initially bear the development costs of several hundred billion yen, supported by SoftBank. Talks are underway with TSMC, among others, about production capacity. Son sees super-intelligent AI as a means of solving fundamental problems and predicting the future. SoftBank also plans to build data centers and renewable energy plants, as well as make acquisitions to position itself as an AI group.
