AI Hacking Threat May Push US and China Toward Rare AI Cooperation

AI agents capable of hacking systems are emerging as a growing cybersecurity concern for both the United States and China. Wired senior writer Will Knight recently visited China to explore the state of AI development and international collaboration. The shared threat posed by autonomous AI systems may create unexpected common ground between the two tech rivals. Experts suggest that mutual vulnerabilities could incentivize dialogue between Washington and Beijing on AI safety. The topic was discussed on Wired's podcast 'Uncanny Valley,' where Knight shared his observations from the trip.
