Bloomberg journalists will address whether US concerns about AI development speed could inadvertently benefit China in a live Q&A session scheduled for September 18 at 11 a.m. HKT.

The session examines the tension between AI safety advocates calling for slower development in the US and potential geopolitical implications. As American policymakers debate regulatory frameworks and safety measures, questions arise about whether such caution could shift competitive advantage to other nations, particularly China. The Q&A will explore how different regulatory approaches across countries affect AI innovation timelines and market positioning. Topics include the feasibility of coordinated international AI governance and whether safety-focused policies in the US could reshape the global AI landscape. Participants can submit questions directly during the live event. The discussion reflects growing debate in tech and policy circles about balancing responsible AI development with maintaining competitive standing in a rapidly evolving global technology race.
