Senator Jim Banks issued a letter to the Trump administration that sets out an AI strategy to preserve US technological leadership over China. The letter recommends practical safety measures for upcoming talks between President Trump and Xi Jinping. It calls for expanding focus beyond cyber capabilities to risks including recursive self-improvement and loss of control, noting potential effects on military, intelligence, and biosecurity domains.

President Trump is right to push for an AI strategy that keeps America ahead of China while putting real guardrails in place against serious risks.
As President Trump meets with Xi, AI talks with China should focus on common sense steps that make America safer, even if we have to take those steps on our own.

@SenatorBanks While he is busy saving the world, could senate do the number one ask of the American people and pass the Save America Act with a standing filibuster. Apparently the Goon Thune you all voted to lead you doesn’t “know” that’s an option.
@SenatorBanks Remove Thune!
@SenatorBanks Our Senate is useless and so is my Senator!
