Brookings-Tsinghua Experts Urge Nuclear-Style AI Safeguards With US-China Military Hotline

Brookings senior fellow Melanie Sisson and Fudan's Tianjiao Jiang published proposals ahead of the Sept 24 Trump-Xi meeting recommending explicit red lines barring AI from autonomously deciding nuclear weapons use, sole human authority over AI-enabled cyberattacks on nuclear command systems, a dedicated military hotline for AI incidents, and a shared US-China definition of 'meaningful human control.' The recommendations extend the November 2024 Biden-Xi human-control affirmation.
