US and China urged to treat AI risk like a pandemic
Original: US, China should treat AI risk like a pathogen, not a missile
A new commentary argues that the United States and China should approach advanced AI risk the way public health authorities handle pathogens, through shared monitoring, transparency and cooperation, rather than framing it as a missile-style military threat to be deterred. The piece contends that a disease-control model better fits AI's global, borderless spread and could reduce the chance of a destabilizing arms race between the two powers.
Why now: Ongoing US-China tech rivalry and rising debate over how to govern frontier AI risk are keeping this framing in circulation.
