Clark said AI safety should be a top priority and committed to working with global partners on fundamental guardrails for AI safety.

“created through the use of software, machine learning, artificial intelligence”

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The enacted TAKE IT DOWN Act created federal guardrails for nonconsensual intimate digital forgeries, including AI-generated depictions. This delivers a narrow AI safety component, not the broader global-partner guardrails claim.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The official GovInfo bill record for the AI Guardrails Act of 2026 still shows only introduction and committee referral, so this federal guardrails effort had not been enacted by the as-of date.

“The two countries established the U.S.-China Super Intelligence (SI) Dialogue to exchange views on risks and benefits related to SI. The next exchange will occur by November 2026.”

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The White House announced a U.S.-China dialogue on AI/SI risks and benefits, a concrete global-partner step. Because it is a dialogue/channel rather than enacted guardrails or binding standards, it supports partial delivery only.
