Will Chinese AI firms curb their pace? House Democrat urges US‑China AI safety treaty

Rep. Ro Khanna calls for a bilateral AI treaty to prevent runaway technology, urging faster action from both Washington and Beijing.

Rep. Ro Khanna addressing US intelligence and Chinese AI firms about AI safety

In a series of letters obtained by The Verge, Representative Ro Khanna, the leading Democrat on the House Select Committee on China, has asked the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and major Chinese AI developers—including DeepSeek, Alibaba, and Moonshot AI—to disclose their plans for achieving superintelligence and recursive self‑improvement, as well as any safeguards or “kill switches” they have implemented.

Khanna stresses that without coordinated urgency from both the United States and China, the rapid advancement of AI could outpace governance, creating systemic risk for global technology ecosystems.

Why speed matters for GPU and AI infrastructure

Rapid, uncontrolled AI progress places pressure on GPU supply chains and data‑center capacity, increasing the chance of hardware bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and unchecked model behavior that could affect cloud services and enterprise workloads.

The congressman’s push for a bilateral treaty aims to align research oversight with hardware procurement policies, ensuring that GPU manufacturers and AI service providers operate within a framework that mitigates catastrophic failure scenarios.
