GS-II International Relations: as AI becomes a strategic and economic flashpoint between the US and China, the two sides have set up a crisis-communication channel for AI incidents and a Super Intelligence Dialogue, bundled with a tariff reduction, showing that great-power rivals can compartmentalise cooperation on AI safety even amid trade tensions. The way forward lies in embedding such bilateral mechanisms into broader multilateral AI-governance frameworks, where countries like India have a stake in shaping global norms rather than being rule-takers.
