US, China role emphasized in AI governance

Discussions on what shape controls should take at center stage, panel hears

Any international rules on generative artificial intelligence must involve the United States and China and those countries' companies, participants in a recent panel discussion said.

"In terms of scale and number of companies, a number of researchers, a number of STEM researchers, it's really the US and China," said Paul Triolo, an associate partner for China and Technology Policy Lead at the Albright Stonebridge Group, a global strategic advisory and commercial diplomacy firm. "So, the consensus is that China and Chinese companies need to be part of a global dialogue."

Triolo spoke in a panel discussion titled "The United States, China, and AI: What Does Cooperation Look Like?", hosted by the Institute for China-America Studies in Washington.
