        The U.S. and China will meet in Geneva to discuss advanced artificial intelligence on Tuesday, U.S. officials said, stressing that Washington's policies would not be up for negotiation even as the talks explore mitigating risks from the emerging technology.
        
        President Joe Biden's administration has sought to engage China on a range of issues to reduce miscommunication between the two rivals. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi broached the topic of AI in April in Beijing, where they agreed to hold their first formal bilateral talks on the subject.
        
        The State Department has pressed China and Russia to match U.S. declarations that only humans, and never artificial intelligence, would make decisions on deploying nuclear weapons.
