Khanna Seeks Binding U.S.-China Agreement on Advanced AI Safety

Rep. Ro Khanna, the top Democrat on the House Select Committee on China, is pushing for a binding U.S.-China agreement to regulate advanced AI systems and prevent their use in biological and nuclear weapons.

The proposed agreement would include international monitoring, inspections, and verification measures to ensure that companies like DeepSeek and Alibaba do not develop superintelligence without safety guardrails.

Khanna compared this proposal to arms-control frameworks, emphasizing that 'winning an AI war is like winning a nuclear war. It is catastrophic for civilization.'
