US, China should learn from Cold War-era arms control to tackle AI risks: ex-US official

A former US Treasury secretary, Robert Rubin, has suggested that the US and China learn from the Cold War-era arms control agreements to address the risks posed by artificial intelligence. This means that Washington and Beijing should put aside their mutual distrust to cooperate on AI, just as the US and Soviet Union worked together on nuclear arms control during the Cold War. This cooperation could lead to safer and more stable AI development, which is crucial for the global economy.
