US and China Set September AI Talks, Bessent to Lead US Side | AI Weekly

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you run a frontier AI lab in the US, Treasury has just made itself your regulator's regulator - the protocol that emerges from September talks will set what you can and cannot do with your weights, and that baseline will be harder to argue with than anything Congress has produced so far. Watch the language on 'non-state actors' when it lands, because that definition decides whether Chinese private labs are in scope or only actual bad actors.
