Start-ups race to build tools that could verify a US-China AI slowdown deal
Researchers and technology companies are developing systems that would allow independent parties to confirm both nations are honouring any agreed limits on AI.
A cohort of researchers and start-up companies is working to develop technology that could verify compliance with any future agreement between the United States and China to slow the development of artificial intelligence, removing the need for either side to rely on trust alone.
Calls have been growing for Washington and Beijing to reach such an accord, but the absence of a credible verification mechanism has long been regarded as a fundamental obstacle. The emerging tools are designed to allow third parties and governments to monitor adherence to any commitments without requiring direct access to sensitive systems.
The initiative reflects broader concern that without enforceable oversight, any bilateral AI agreement would struggle to hold.
